These guys are into heavy-duty computing

[Wes Loewer]

Something does not quite add up here. The article says they "took calculators from a rack and put them in an empty cooler before leaving the store without paying" and that "the value of the calculators stolen by the two was $5,527.61"

Even if they took the most expensive calculators that Target carries, say TI Npsire CAS at around $140, or the 84 Plus CE at about $120, that's about 40 to 50 calculators. That would have to be VERY large cooler to hold that many calculators still in the original packaging. Usually stores like Target don't keep more than a handful at a time on the rack.
