The shoplifter knew the geography of the big gleaming Target store in TriBeCa as well as he knew his dingy little $20-a-week room uptown.
He popped through the sliding front door, where a security guard stood posted.
That was how long it would take for the police to respond to the 911 call the security guard would be making right now.
The shoplifter, David Andino, clambered down that escalator, hurtling past shoppers heading up.
Andino scooped what he could into a laundry bag, seeking out the brands he knew he could easily sell.
