Montrealers surely know the phrase "nothing good ever happins on Park Ave." (Did you just make that up or is that real? I'm not from here - Chimples).
So when a creepy young thief stole an expensive laptop from the errant bag of a female customer at the Cafe Elmundo at the corner of Milton it doesn't come as a total shock.
It won't knock the Cafe Reggio Violi hit off its number one perch as all-time cafe crimes committed in Montreal but it's still awfully gross.
Thankfully those same cafe cams that catch you in compromising positions, also spotted the bangs and polo-shirt-wearing twenty-something thief full on.
His lack of sombrero, hat, cap, or even shades and beard have exposed his face for all to see. Anybody who went to a reputable theft school would see that as a rookie error.
We say, "hey guy just return it and apologize."
@LyricMuse @CoolopolisMTL I was just in El Mundo & was abused & threatened by homeless guy - staff refused to call the police or do anything

In April another guy posted security film from Café Pi, where his laptop was stolen. People need to keep their valuables in sight:
