I cant believe this!

 

[Tomorrow]

Some people really suck.

 

[Gatteau]

That's really sad.

 

[Furi Kuri]

$50,000 in under a minute.

 

[FSMBP]

Just saw it on Gizmodo.

Insane. Every Apple Store I've been to have the notebooks hooked up to something (a security device) or so I thought so.

 

[twoodcc]

that's terrible! and not the first time it was robbed

 

[Scippy]

You would think that after the first time it got robbed, they would put a better security system in place.

 

[bembol]

This is the second time?!?!

I thought Apple was smarter than this.

 

[Pocket lint]

$50,000 in under a minute.

Much better than robbing banks these days

 

[Revelation78]

Well if you see any cheap MacBooks, iPhones or iPod Touches on Ebay/Craigslist anytime soon, you know where they came from.

No doubt all the serial numbers are now blacklisted and anyone trying to claim anything on them will have to answer some questions.

New Jersey Apple Store Robbed of MacBook Pros, iPhones, and iPod Touches



ifoAppleStore reports that the Sagemore Apple retail store was robbed in a smash-and-grab burglary last night conducted by five individuals. In only 31 seconds, the burglars were able to make off with 23 MacBook Pros, 14 iPhones and 9 iPod touches. A night shift security guard, whose position had been added due to a similar burglary at the store back in March, declined to intervene when one of the burglars motioned to indicate that he had a gun.

The five men struck at 2 a.m., police say, again using a large rock to break the window. Because of the earlier burglary, an unarmed security guard was on-duty inside the store. However, the guard didn't intervene when one of the men motioned that he had a gun.

Philadelphia television station WPVI broadcast a report from the scene that includs surveillance footage of the crime. Police are asking anyone with information to please contact the authorities.

People these days... smh

 

[laughingperson5]

Wow. Is this world filled with THAT many degenerates? This is just sad.

 

[mani]

blitz burglary

 

[EarthDawn]

The age of video dooms so many of these idiots...

 

[BlackiBook]

It is kinda weird because I am proud that they were smart enough to steal from somewhere that is going to yield such a high monetary return! (rather than robbing the 7/11 for the $25 dollars in the drawer)


But other than that... Shame on them!!

Last week when I was at the Woodcliff Lake, NJ Apple Store I noticed that one of their giant glass doors was missing, replaced with a temporary black wooden door. I wonder if they had a burglary as well?

 

[jrlcopy]

I wonder if all of those laptops have mobileme installed, would be hilarious if apple could do a little screen sharing and find the purps.

 

[asphyxiafeeling]

Those guys were BRUTAL. 31 seconds!

 

[DaReal_Dionysus]

Man some people have huge nuts. Really Huge.

 

[pianoplayer1]

I didn't see them cutting security cables, what happened to those?

 

[Eminemdrdre00]

Wow! 31 seconds...these guys must have had practice!

 

[ziggyonice]

I didn't see them cutting security cables, what happened to those?

They don't really have security cables as much as they do just security alarms. If the computers were LOCKED down, like with a Kensington Lock, they couldn't get them off the tables. But the security alarms can come right off -- they're what makes the high pitched squealing noise when the cords become loose.

 

[Mrtrick]

I didn't see them cutting security cables, what happened to those?

Exactly what I thought. There must be something amiss at that store. I know for sure all the apple stores in the DFW area have those lappys, phones, and pods locked down with either that annoying cord/alarm glued to the back or an actual combination lock in the laptop cable lock slot.
