I wonder if anyone would ever crash their car into, and steal a bunch of stuff from, a Microsoft Store...
Lol it would cost more for the car they crash then the "junk" they get

Aren't they usually inside a mall? I've never seen a free standing MSFT store. I could be wrong though.
Should make your posts even more rare if you cant stop stereotyping.
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.
Isn't it pointless to steel from an apple store since they can remotely brick any device cataloged there?
No. Apple won't hand you an iPhone, when you walk in and just show them a note.I would love to read more about how this works if you've got any links you can share. Not scheming anything, just find it to be an interesting concept.![]()
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.

Apple seems to have a particularly large issue with cars smashing through their glass. They should come up with a design that minimizes that risk... surely someone in the world has invented car-resistant glass?
„Was ist ein Einbruch in eine Bank gegen die Gründung einer Bank?“ – Dreigroschenoper, Bertholt Brecht 1928In Ireland - to get into a bank you press a button at one glass door - a security camera is pointing at you. A security guard in a room somewhere either buzzes you in or not. Then you go into a holding area and have to buzz to get in a second door. There are no more bank robberies now. You won't get out if you try.
Apostrophe ahoy!Funny in this day and age to still be reading crap like, "you American's".
Really? I did not know that. It def does make sense for the sake of employee safety. I would love to read more about how this works if you've got any links you can share. Not scheming anything, just find it to be an interesting concept.![]()
I am sure that opel corsa is not from any of the "thieves". They stole the car on the street for the job.
The two getaway car (audi) , are from transporter movie.

Hope they get away with it. Sure is worth some, good luck guys.

Not four Americans though.![]()
This was no accident. The police should restore order by any means necessary.
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.
"A Microsoft store was smashed with a car today. $10,000 worth of computers were returned."
One of the biggest grey markets for Apple products is Russia and other Federation states. Bet good money, this is the intended resale market.

An Apple Retail Store located in Kurfürstendamm, Berlin was the site of a smash-and-grab robbery earlier this morning, reports Bild.de [Google Translate]. At 4:15 AM, thieves reportedly crashed an Opel Corsa supermini automobile into the store and proceeded to steal display iPhones, iPads, and computers before fleeing in two Audis.

of course the opel was stolen. Would you really consider doing a crime with a car that is registered on you?![]()
then sell them to customers who don't know any better
If you buy a 'new' iPad from a guy you don't know in a bar, for a reduced price, you do know better or you are extremely dumb.
