English as a second meaning

I saw:
It is not known if Price stole the four computers from rooms in a school dormitory in June, but he allegedly tried to sell them along with two other individuals.
I think:
It's illegal to sell individuals, isn't it?

I saw:
Do not go behind the desk when unattended.
I think:
I'll bring along a friend when I want to go behind the desk.

Outwardly, out
