So… do you always keep bolt cutters in your pants?   I guess so if you want to steal a computer.  According to San Jose Police Detective Michelle Hinch, the crime occurred on July 8, 2008 at a busy coffee house on Silver Creek Road and Aborn Road in San Jose.  Two male subjects are captured on video sitting at a table playing a computer game console for almost 30 minutes.  While one subject gets ready, the other one pulls a pair of bolt cutters out of his pants.  He then cuts a cable to the computer as the other subject pulls it off the table.  They both flee the scene with the game console.  So you wonder why gang members wear baggy pants?  Now you know.  The game console is an MegaTouch Aurora at it retails for about $4000 dollars.
