Robert Bowling chases robbers from Robotski office
An on-site security video captures the dramatic encounter in its entirety. In a matter of seconds, the office's front doors were smashed in, and the burglars entered. Upon seeing Bowling leap toward them, the robbers then beat a hasty retreat. "Unfortunately for them, I work late," Bowling quipped.
The robbery marks the second time police have visited the Robotoki offices in the last year, as LAPD officers stormed the building in 2013 after a designer accidentally tripped its silent alarm system. Bowling, again the sole employee remaining in the building at the time, was taken into temporary custody while officers engaged in a brief standoff with a window-facing Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 statue.
While Bowling can apparently get away with these kind of superheroics unscathed, foiling robberies on your own is inadvisable, even if you've played thousands of hours of Call of Duty and have devised a series of burglar-snaring traps, à la Home Alone. Sometimes, though, the element of surprise is enough to save the day.

ShadowBoltDashieZer0 im just wondering what 2 guys on foot were planing to rob?
Computers. Either monitors or if they're using iMac PC's at the office, then they could have tried to take off with those. They also could have had a vehicle parked somewhere close by and would have made multiple trips to the office to steal what they could.
It looks like a Mac, and anything else that could be in there too.
