It's always depressing to hear about this kind of thing.

I wonder...will we see a new set of low-cost Apple equipment on eBay?

Anybody want to buy several laptops and digital cameras that I, ahem, recently "acquired"? I need the money to pay for repairs to my car, which has some glass damage. ;)

I live in Memphis and stop by this store all the time. Kind of sad,,, they know me by name and I never really buy anything. Being broke sucks.

i definately want to second what digital said... everyone at that store is really nice and incredibly helpful.

it's really a shame, especially after all they had to go through to get the store going to begin with (a quick search about the history of the germantown apple store, or even just germantown zoning laws, will make many of you wonder what city planners are thinking...).

hopefully things will get cleaned up and everything will ba back to normal before i go back home. if it doesn't look that way i suppose i will have to do my apple shopping at the mall of america before school is out. oh well, i guess either way is fine.

oh, and one last thing... the whole storefront, including both doors, is made of glass. last time i was home, i think it was one of the doors, but some part of the front bad been broken and they had to board it all up. i think it was bad weather. curse their bad luck!!

I hope you don't drive a car similar to the thieves . . . You might be the number one suspect. :D

"...Macrumors.com Forum's member "digitalgiant" was arrested today when he was accused of robbing the apple store..."

Prosecutors say that there is more than enough evidence for a conviction.

:D :p

I guess it's time to replay this cartoon from when the Apple Store in New York's SOHO district was burgled in September 2002:
