AUSTRALIA COMPUTERS TARGETED BY THIEVES The Border Mail: "?We are finding the offenders are targeting business premises and are taking goods like mobile phones and laptops.
At this stage it looks like they could be exchanging the goods for drugs and there is an established market for the computers out there.
Sgt Revell said people should be extremely careful when they bought lap top computers and could be in a lot of trouble if caught with stolen goods.
He said business operators should not leave equipment such as computers visible as it was just an open invitation.
Items stolen since Saturday night include $6000 of equipment from a Wodonga signal box, mobile phones and computers from a Mores Court factory and cash was taken from a wreckers.
Two computers were also stolen from Wodonga TAFE, laptops from a city|business and computers were stolen from the Jamieson Court preschool. "
