Inside Job!!! Thieves had to know which warehouse iPads would be in. When they would be there. What time .
Possession of stolen property is on the person who has possession of it. Regardless of whether they bought it from someone else or not.I don't think they would fully block any of these. Might use them as bait to catch these guys in fact. Its not the consumers fault in the end.
Could this be them?

There's a few listed cheap but this guy says he has many in stock and they're all LTE and by the way he's tiered the pricing, asked for only a bit less than retail price and has a photo of lots of them, it seems legit imo.

Doesn't matter to the guy that stole them. He sells them on the street or where ever and those that bought it will have no way of finding him again. Seller gets his money and the buyer ends up getting a visit from the police.

In reality, most likely Apple will simply file an insurance claim and call it a day. Why bother wasting the time, money, and resources to attempt to track down each of the stolen iPads when they start hitting the market when they can file a claim, call it a day and move on. That's what insurance is for.
To thwart the resale of these devices and others who would steal them in the future, if I were Apple I'd brick them as soon as they got on a network. In the future, I'd ship them bricked so they could only be unlocked when registered with a proper sale.
