$1.5million worth of iPad minis!? That's a small fortune!
That's a great score if you move them for 275 a piece!! Even $250. Wonder if the serial numbers are known.
Man I loved The Wire. I just loaded a bunch of episodes onto my mini last week.
I'm not thrilled at the lack of security at jfk though, i really thought things were tighter in the cargo sheds now. So what if it's an inside job, this is post-9/11 and there should still (for forever and a day!) be a lot of random change-ups in how security works out there. Different people on the cameras without notice. Different people working the doors, the forklifts. Same idea as with air marshals. Just putting them out there to be extra human eyes after all the other alleged security checks are done. Do we really want some sleeper guy now doing menial cargo-shuffling and waiting for that special little package to succeed with his part in some very patient plot to bring a really bad night to New York City sometime? What are they thinking that whole pallets of stuff can walk?
otoh what am I thinking. it's not like trade in any contraband suddenly stopped post-9/11, right. Like you said, Glekas is waiting.
Only thing funnier would be video of Jeff Bezos and Steve Ballmer on some tugboat out in Long Island Sound, weighting the pallets with some concrete blocks... iPad minis about to sleep with the fishes!
Craigslist pulled the ad.
Anyone got a screencap?Point taken, but the police force responsible for watching JFK is that of the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey, not the NYPD or any other City of New York agency. (Also, people forget that the PAPD lost more men and women on 9/11 than the NYPD did.)It's more important in NYC to police salt and soda consumption than secure the airports.
Craigslist pulled the ad.
Thought it would.

Thanks!
The seller's using an 800 number. I don't think someone who wants to be untraceable would do that. A Google search shows the number is used for the website womenslipper.com.

Am I mistaken, or is that pile o' iPad minis on a car seat???

And that bag in the lower right isn't a bag, but the plastic material used to wrap pallets
Probably drivers from Korea and Redmond WA
3 Nexus 7s and
12 Surface
were stolen.
Looks like Samsung and Microsoft try to copy everything Apple.
Wow, that is a huge number of iPad minis stolen. I watched a video on YouTube that shows a thief stealing about 20 MacBook Pros and I thought that was a lot.
