Laptops stolen from Mips Computers

Surat: Two Compaq laptops were stolen from Mips Computers, located in
Nanpura, Surat. The shop owner Noorali Meghani has suffered a loss of nearly Rs
80, 000.

"A man came to my shop and selected two Compaq laptops. He said that with his
father's consent he would purchase either one and clear the payment there
itself," explained Meghani.

At the moment Meghani said yes out of courtesy. He sent an attendant with the
customer to collect the payment as well as one laptop. "My attendant was riding
the bike and that man sat behind holding both the laptops. On Ring Road, near
the Mahalakshmi market when the attendant slowed down the bike due to traffic,
the customer jumped off the bike and ran away with laptops," said Meghani.

Meghani lodged a complaint in the police station just after the incident, but
could not recover the stolen laptops. This incident has been informed to all
other shops in Surat to alert them about the fraudster.
