I wonder how many had their wallets lifted. It would be fun to see them wakeup to defend their possessions. Hacking hacking the real world.

The same group dressed with blue polo shirts and khaki and entered in a Best Buy. Security guards and managers thought it was some kind of elaborate Thomas-Crown-like heist.

That's hilarious. I wonder what they ended up doing. Have a link to more info?

What a great place to do it. Grand Central is one of the nicest interior spaces in NYC, and it can be very crowded.

To think that Grand Central was under pressure to be demolished, until Jackie Kennedy lead a movement to save it...

I think this sort of thing is awesome---but I have a hard time explaining why. There's just something magical about it, and, judging from the applause at the end, lots of other people feel the same way.
