On Feb 21st, during the wee hours, a high school was robbed. The thieves made off with goods valuing around $80,000: 58 laptops, 2 desktops, and one LED projector. The two 17-year old students who executed the theft have since been caught, but only half of the laptops and the projector have been recovered.
Will Smith, born and raised in Philly, has decided to step in to give back to his community. In cooperation with the Charlie Mack Cares organization, the Will and Jada Smith Family Foundation will donate 29 Apple laptops and one desktop to the West Philadelphia High School.
This break-in was the second at West Philly High this year and is the latest in a string of robberies from Philadelphia public schools. In total, 350 computers have been stolen, valued at half a million dollars. We can only hope that some security measure have been taken to protect this generous donation.
