Another iPad theft caught on camera, this time at the Illini Union

Patrick Singer
We all remember this video from a few years back:
 
 

Now the U of I security system comes through again, most effectively through this video (there were three videos linked in the U of I Mass Mail message; two others linked below), which clearly shows two individuals taking off with an iPad. Around the 15 second mark is when you can see one of the individuals putting the iPad into the other’s backpack. Not as clear of a robbery as the video from Espresso above, but certainly something here:
 

From the U of I Mass Mail system:

On Sunday, July 28, 2013 at approximately 4:20 p.m., the victim was sitting in the Illini Union when she was approached by a subject who asked her what time it was. When the victim looked at her watch, the suspect grabbed her iPad off the table she was sitting at and ran away. 

The suspect is seen on video running out the southwest doors of the Illini Union, meeting up with a second suspect and putting the iPad in a backpack the second suspect is wearing. 

Security cameras captured video of the suspects at different locations around the Illini Union just prior to and after this incident. The videos can be seen at:  http://youtu.be/zz3zfK4l4Gg, http://youtu.be/OrhbEjou42o, and http://youtu.be/BBOoeSJr1Mg.
