Lincoln police say two men paid a visit to the North 84th street Wal-mart January 10th around 5:00 a.m. Police say they are responsible for stealing two computers.
Lincoln Police Department Officer Matt Tangen said the one suspect stood guard, while the other did the dirty work.
"While one person acted as a lookout the other person pried them from the display mountings and concealed it under his jacket, and then they both left the store," Tangen said.

Police say the computers stolen include a black and orange Dell Brand Nickelodeon laptop, and a black HP mini notebook computer. But it didn't end there.
Police say the suspects turned up at the North 27th Street Wal-mart about 12 hours later, and stole a computer - again they were caught on tape.
"If you look at the pictures you can see their appearance is the same, and it looks like in one guy's case, he is wearing a light colored inner coat and a dark colored outer coat, and when you look at the pictures from the second case, he just has the lighter colored inner coat," Tangen said.
Authorities say once again good surveillance photos could be the key to cracking this case, and police hope if you know the men in the photos you'll call crimestoppers.
"Video is a good tool in this case to reveal what happened to these computers and perhaps even who did it," Tangen said.
Police also say the suspects left in a van after the early morning shoplift at the North 84th street Wal Mart.
