It's not mutually exclusive. One can focus on the thieves (whatever that means?) and still discuss how this happened and can be prevented.

The idea that a crime should be discussed but without any discussion of how it happened or why or any practical lessons that can be learned is a little amusing. These things are normal matters of discussion for a crime in any other hobby or place. The list of things collectors don’t want anyone to discuss is just too long to keep up with.

Seems everything gets discussed. You should be fine.

Hence why I said "don't want to be discussed" instead of "censor from discussion".

every time I watch that vid, and see that dude flying down the isle and getting incredibly animated with the worker to distract him, I wonder what was he talking nonsense BS about ??

like " look at my phone, the next show I can get you a table with chrome legs " and " see the glare you get when you set up at this spot, you wanna be here next time " , all the while peeking at his buddy walking away with the case

just crazy

I guess focus on the thieves means to give more attention to them than the reason it happened. Both inevitably get discussed, nothing wrong with that. But it was a human mistake, that is how it happened. Someone should have been with the cards all of the time. It's not rocket science.

Right, but people who say that are getting lambasted for being out of line and somehow insensitive.

Agree...

A discussion of how the theft could better have been prevented potentially helps future crimes from ever happening. If we don't learn from our actions (and evolve accordingly), we are prone to recurring disasters. I fail to see how such a discussion is a bad thing.

We all want these criminals caught and prosecuted to the full extent of the law. But doesn't it also make sense to do whatever we can to disarm them moving forward?
