I'm rather curious if the Samsung guys also copy this and organize smash-and-grab robberies in their own stores :D
 
Same thing happened at the Colorado Springs Apple store a few months ago. Drove stolen car into the store, made off with lots of merchandise.

I bet it happens all the time, not sure why it made the new this time.
 
Are they sure it wasn't this guy? :D

I like how you Americans call the Corsa a 'super-mini'. It's not a big car but its definitely not supermini. It seats four people without problems. Hehe.

An Opel Corsa is not a supermini automobile!
At least not in Europe. It's just a very regular small car.


We 'americans' don't even use the term 'supermini'.. It's a UK term used by UK press..

If you were to ask an American they would say it's a hatchback, or a compact car.. but not a supermini..

It's always a business decision. Spend all your money finding all the ways to protect your building or buy insurance. Whichever is cheapest, companies use.

Like banks - Banks used to hire security guards to protect against bank robberies. But then robbers would bring in guns, injure and kill people, take $10,000. This also cost the banks money through lawsuits from customers and higher insurance premiums to pay for injured workers. So what do they do now? Simply install a security camera, and give anyone who walks in and hands the teller a note (no weapon need be shown) - $500.

It's cheaper this way, and there's a safer work environment. Employees know what to do. No crazy stuff happens anymore. It's easier for criminals, but eventually being on the security cameras enough, they'll be caught.

It's amazing, what seems so wrong at first, is the most logical route to go.

Most banks now have dye packs that they slip into any cash they give to robbers.

Lets stop the crap of Americans and UK ... Fact is this is just a mistake caused by poor reporting. In the UK and majority of Europe we have Vauxhall not Opel. We call it a hatchback not a supermini, there are very few cars with that definition one example being possibly the Fiat 500 a much smaller city car.
 
No, it's not worth much. They took about 20 items, among them iPods and iPads. [1]
The damage at the car and at the door may well be higher than that.

That is the way of theft. The collateral damage outweighs any gain many times over usually.

I'm going to make a wild stab in the dark here and suggest that the car may not have belonged to the thieves. In which case they are not going to lose any sleep over repair costs.

The term "supermini" isn't a term used in the US. The term originated in the UK and is specific to European cars. The equivalent term in the US would be "subcompact."

With that said, the Opel Corsa is, in fact, by European standards, a "supermini," which American consumers have zero input or opinion on, as we don't have that make, model, or term at our disposal.

No matter how rich Apple is, people shouldn't steal. I'm sure you have more money than someone else does. Should someone steal from you because they think you have cool stuff and can afford it?

Sadly all this will do is raise Apple's costs and Apple will find a way to compensate even if raising prices by a penny or reducing payment to suppliers by a penny.

People who take advantage of Walmart's return policies because "Walmart can afford it" really just hurt Walmart suppliers and other Walmart customers. In the end they are just cutting off their nose to spite "a big corporation's" face.
 
Same thing happened to a Microsoft store recently. The robbers quickly handed themselves over to police and requested psychological therapy.

Funny in this day and age to still be reading crap like, "you American's".

This is someone from MacRumors. :D

This is why I rarely post in these forums anymore. Get a life people.
 
They need knee-height metallic pillars affront of the windows and doors to avoid car crashings like this.
