Doesn't that seem like common sense? Most kids here get the "keep away from strangers" talk at the age of 4.. did she just not get the memo or something?

Plus with things like that, you generally don't lend them to strangers. Or at least I wouldn't anyway.

Stealing from a little girl. That guy should commit suicide in shame. I'm glad he got caught at least.

That is epic. But stealing from a little girl? Shame, man, shame. What guy would stoop so low as to steal a Gaming Console... from a girl.... a TWELVE year old girl..

Not even; she was TEN.
I'd only hand something to strangers if I had the full intention of giving it to them... way too dangerous otherwise. But man, that's just cruel; as iebo said, at least the guy got caught. He's 23, should have went to find a job at least if he wanted a few bucks.
