A good tip – bring your own bags. Canvas shopping bags or even a small garbage bag if you’re buying something bigger. City life is public life and walking down the street with a bright Best Buy or Apple bag or box is just not safe. Someone can push you down, grab your stuff, and run before you even know you’re on the ground.

Also bag well your boxes once your new toys are set up. It’s not a great idea to leave all your labeled boxes broken down next to your trash, thereby advertising that you have lots of new electronics just inside.

Wow. I walked out of the store with giant box a few weeks ago. The box had a high def color picture of my new iMac. ‘HEY LOOK EVERYONE I’M CARRYING $1500 RIGHT HERE!!!’

It was a replacement for my laptop that was stolen the same morning by three dudes who broke into my house. As a walked the three blocks to my car on Wiscon, I kept thinking, “I really hope no one mugs me right now. Two stolen computers in one day would be super lame.” Guess that does happen.
