Many of these opportunistic thieves think about what they can move quickly so if they are caught they no longer have the goods on them. That imac and walmart bike they could have moved the same day for probably $100 profit, where as the macbooks they may have had to shop them around for longer, long enough for theft services to lock them down and track them once they are turned on... Not good news for the crook. They are smarter than you probably think.
