Sadly doesn't matter if Apple bricks these. The robbers will sell them, and the end user getting these on the grey market will not know until it's too late and there will be no warranty or way to get their money back.

It doesn’t clearly indicate if 2 displays or 6 stands!
The question is: just how many parts can you sell of a M1-MBA?
Apart from the battery maybe.
Everything else is soldered down or even part of the SOC-package.
Maybe you can sell the display - unless Apple has already married that to the computer, too.

Highway what’s one of them? M in M1 stands for motorway! Silly Americans! you correct the article!
That's a whole lotta people who aren't going to get their Apple stuff when they thought they were.
And given the truck was found at Lutterworth, which is basically a huge distribution hub with a town attached, they could be anywhere and everywhere by now.
Some poor buyer will be paying good money to give their kids a brick for Christmas.

Apple will have the serial numbers and may be able to track the items if they are activated. Hefty insurance claim coming up
Probably in on it and called his mates.
One guy posted that his Mini HomePod that he was expecting has had the delivery date pushed back to next week so he may have been affected
Have to admit, this is becoming one of my favorite threads because no one is arguing lol or talking about apple sheep. Lots of good jokes about a serious thing. thanks!
well... this is a surprise of an article to read about!
They'd be dumb to sell it locally, will probably be spread out across black market in China or somewhere else overseas.
Still, I don't understand how they could get away with this employing any tactic, with highly traceable devices?
Apple knows what was in those shipments, and they'll be hunting down any that connect to the Internet to get more info where they came from, etc.

So they stole 1,000 256 GB DIMM kits? That shouldn’t even take a truck to move.

The Joke in England was that Apple named their fastest Processor after one of the slowest and most congested motorways.
