PC Corner - Main St's Most Wanted Back To School Techies

Thief helps himself to $20,000 in merchandise - but no Crime Stoppers call

PC Corner 21 Main St S, Newmarket

At first glance, PC Corner, looks to be a small shop set in basic white, adorned by a simple sign and no bells and whistles - save one - the front clanging "mom and pop" hanging bells which alert the guys in the back - usually embroiled in the pursuit of fixing everyone's broken computers - to a customer's entry. PC not only fixes them via virus removals and whatnot, but will also work to speed up computers, add upgrades, or service them - like a car and good mechanic - to keep your computer in top working order, as well as perform installations of complete home entertainment packages or even website building.

PCC's neighbour to the north offers best breakfast deals

Wedged into a part of Main St beside a former Barber shop, away from the most concentration of shops further south, and with nearby Davis Drive construction ongoing, they have struggled at times undoubtedly, but repeat, happy, customers keep things going.

Over the hill north on east side to find PC Corner

PC Corner also sell computers, laptops, software and the like, with hands-on owner Amir Aslam, a schooled expert in computer engineering, often available to assist personally with any advice or recommendation best suited to your computer needs. Having known Amir now almost 10 years, I can say the guy is a rarity, and great to have as a resource - not to mention honest and easy going to chat with, in order to pick his brain! Good old fashioned, small business, Main St service.

It's too bad someone took advantage recently to rob them. Tough enough with all the nearby Davis Dr. construction.

Add window bars to the new sign cost

The way the thief worked was he came in during the day to scope things out, removing some merchandise from behind the counter, whilst people were in the back. Later that night, he attempted (likely)to break in, but failed, and fled to the alarm but the next day he came again - as seen in surveillance footage    , as well as the following night and stole 12 Mac Pro lap-top computers and other expensive items. However, by circulating snap shots of the person via Facebook and Youtube they have received tips (one an ex wanting a reward or no info), and police apparently know who the man is now, but claim it's not enough evidence to warrant picking him up! Wow! But they can make graffiti, that could have been fixed with $5 worth of paint, a major, front page crime story, while this man loses $20,000 in merchandise!TPE produced a spoof as well, similar to the above video in design to help him.

Graffiti a Crime Stopper but robbed merchant not?!

I know Amir was upset by it, and his faith in being protected from thefts also has been shattered - and the gall of the thief who looks directly at the camera more than once and yet "not enough evidence" - haunts him. But I urged him to move on or it will eat him up. He's now installed bars on his windows, a shame that it has come to this.

" It was Newmarket. I didn't think I needed them before" Amir Aslam

Hopefully Amir's Main St. shop will recover with the support of his clients and friends so they may continue to serve up his great brand of friendly, highly professional, knowledgeable service - and at reasonable rates!

This is the guy who stole his merchandise
