Two former Apple Inc. security guards were arrested after they allegedly tried to burglarize a warehouse stocked with new iPhones, computers and other devices, police said.

The men fled after being confronted, and police dogs tracked the men to a nearby creek. They were arrested and booked on suspicion of attempted burglary and conspiracy, Trim said.

Both men worked for a contractor that provides security services to Apple, and both had been fired in recent months - Aguilar for theft and Mejia for poor performance, Trim said.Their attempted theft was another example of their poor performance!

good thing they weren't on the job when a really burglary was happening

Is it weird that all I care about is how FSJ will play this?

Many years ago Apple ran a TV ad that featured a couple of burglars breaking into an office, passing up the PCs and stealing the Macs. Anybody else remember that one?

I've had security guards steal things from me before.

I worked in an office where it was the cleaning crew that kept cleaning us out. It was crazy that we had to pick up everything (notebooks, projectors, PDA's, radios, etc.) and lock it in a closet at the end of the day so people wouldn't be tempted.

I thought FSJ was exploded?

Maybe if they had waded through the creek for a while they could have thrown off the dogs following their scent. It always works in the movies.
