A fan cel I made for the guy in the center. I'm 
very happy to know these people. Especially the 
center guy, as much as it hurts at times ;)

I know how you feel, you know, where I go to 
school, I have hands on my ass and in my pocket 
all the time. I'm not the victim type though... 

But consider - cameras only see, they don't 
prevent. Anybody can light a bomb anywhere. You 
cannot search everyone with pockets. A terror 
attack is less likely than the existence of an 
intelligent dog. I fully understand you're pissed 
as hell, but blaming the mall people for not 
installing cams isn't fair IMO. If the thief is 
fast enough to disassemble your bike, he needn't 
worry about the cam.
As for responsibility, it's normal that people 
watch/secure their things. At most schools and 
working places signs are posted: "We are not 
responsible for theft, loss, damage, etc.". I'm 
not blaming you, the bike was secured, but what's 
with the $300? It's best to carry money close to 
your body all the time or lock it up.

The only use of surveillance cams is 
a) screening visible danger (condition: guards 
available fast enough)
b) scaring unconfident thieves through their mere 
presence. Pathetic.

Anyways, good luck re-assembling the bike and 
getting your money back... if ever.
