Seems that even actively using your laptop isn't enough of a deterrent for thieves.

A woman at a Starbucks in Alamo told the Contra Costa County Sheriff's department that she was sitting at a table, using her laptop at the coffee shop Saturday afternoon, when three men grabbed her laptop and ran, sheriff's office spokesman Jimmy Lee said in a press release.

The thieves then hopped into a vehicle that was waiting outside the Starbucks on 3225 Danville Blvd., the sheriff's office said, and headed north.

The victim reported the theft at about 2:40 p.m. and gave a description of the car and suspects to police.

A car matching the description was pulled over on Highway 24 within the hour by Orinda police, with four suspects detained. The suspects were identified by the victim, and the laptop was found and returned.

Nequwan Taylor, 19, of Oakland and Isaiah Taylor, 18, were booked into the Martinez Detention Facility on robbery, burglary and conspiracy charges, according to the spokesman. The two men are being held on $220,000 bail, and two minors were taken to juvenile hall.

Police can't confirm that this case is linked to a rash of laptop "grab and runs" that have been occurring in the Bay Area, most recently in Oakland and Alameda. Victims were either using their laptops at the time of theft, or had left behind their laptops to order food.

Lee said coffee shop customers toting their computers should remain vigilant, keep valuables with them at all times and call the police if they see anything suspicious.
