The photos put them opposite Charles Clinkard, which means they're occupying a unit that's been vacant long enough for it to appear empty on the shopping centre map.

The centre map file was last modified on October 18th last year, though the modification may have been to some other part of the map.


Bear in mind... these people know where you live.


Hard to believe how many people are concerned by that. So a cowardly thief gets glitter bombed and you are worried that they will come back!! Imagine how much worse it would get for them.


Think of it this way: You have made a 100 to 200 pound large hairless ape angry at you. This creature has human intelligence, and no interest in your feelings or your safety. Rather, it wants to make you suffer. It's more capable than the most advanced robot, and may hold onto its grudge and plan revenge over the next several months or a year.

Who wants to sign up for that?


You do realize it was a glitter bomb right?


They might still get quite PO'd. Also, if it's someone who's stooping to stealing packages, they might not be of the most stable mindset.


this was my first thought... especially if they saw it was a smart rich white guy who dissed them... you people live in a rainbow bubble.


The Morlocks and the Eloi.


I don't think someone being a thief makes them cowardly, and thus not open to coming back and throwing a brick through your window in retaliation.

A thief is already open to the idea of invading your personal space for gain, why not revenge?


The man spent months and months developing this thing, is that not revenge?

I don't understand why everyone thinks the homeowners are helpless and just waiting to be robbed/vandalized/whatever.


imagine if this bomb goes off in a cholo's lowrider how much worse it would become for you.


I went to a "meet the senior managers" public feedback event at the BBC a few years ago. The Chairman, Director General, controller of BBC 1 and a few other top level people were there to hear the views of the public.

They were repeatedly, in turn, accused of being both pro-Israel/anti-Palestine and anti-Israel/pro-Palestine by various audience members, each using their own cherry-picked examples.

If you can attract that level of criticism from both sides of the argument, I think you can lay a reasonable claim to being fairly neutral. They certainly weren't "clearly" anti-Israel to some people.


As someone who lives in a country which gives its laws sensible titles, I've never understood why Americans have such convoluted names for their legislation. It seems almost ridiculously childish, especially given how serious many of the acts are.


it's not childish, it's a control tactic. combined with making the laws themselves long and complex, it discourages the populace from trying to comprehend what is actually being done on their behalf. this leaves them in a position where they are more likely to just accept what their side says the legislation does at face value.

Something I've not seen an answer to in any article about this concept: I'm slightly above average height, so occasionally people somewhat below average height ask me to reach things down from high shelves in supermarkets.

What happens if I do that in an Amazon Go shop?


More questions somewhat in this same vein: Can you take your family with you? What happens, if your 5-year-old grabs his favorite sweet and brings it up to you to ask you whether he can have it? Can you put things back into the shelves?
