    Fine and dandy, but Gorillas are an endangered species. I suggest that you chain a nigger to your laptop instead.
    Although not as intelligent as a Gorilla, niggers are more plentiful and just as savage.

    If the thief doesn't throw your laptop away, are you going to chase them? If you think possession of your laptop is more important than your health, perhaps you need to evaluate why you feel that you need to carry something so valuable that it might get you killed.

    Thank you for pointing out what's wrong with our society. People place their personal well-being above that of the world.
