Maybe you didn't know, but last year the mother of the Boston bombers, Zubeidat Tsarnaeva, was caught shoplifting by Lord and Taylor theft prevention workers...I'm guessing via video surveillance. It turns out, those FBI surveillance videos released of the two suspects from the Boston Marathon bombings, were taken from exterior Lord and Taylor cameras.
That's not irony, as others online have referred to (damn you, Alanis Morissette for confusing people).
Again, the definition of irony is: " incongruity between the actual result of a sequence of events and the normal or expected result", or, "the use of words to express something other than and especially the opposite of the literal meaning."
Instead, I proffer karmic entanglement or accidental coincidence.
Karmic entanglement -- because you believe in Fate, and Fate inevitably and unavoidably linked two separate crimes committed by different members of a family, by means of Lord and Taylor surveillance cameras.
Accidental coincidence -- because you don't believe in Fate, but nonetheless find it humorous at the unlikelihood that two, separate crimes committed by different members of a family, are coincidentally caught by Lord and Taylor surveillance cameras.
