Almost surely they are part of some bundle of services and products he offers a niche market.
New York is the only city where a criminal can perform a kidnapping at 9 am, get arrested, get released on NO CASH BAIL and be home by 5 pm. It's a wonderful City 🤮
He's likely got a reseller agreement, and he's arranged for pickup at this location for some reason.
OK so I was off by 4 homicides in San Diego. 30 is still nowhere close to almost 500. “Police Commissioner Dermot Shea said New York City finished 2020 as the most violent year in 14 years.”
Where was Apple security at? He didn't even bother asking for an escort to his car.
Sounds like an inside job. Must be carrying a lot of Apple store bags.
Update: How are you able to purchase 300 iPhones instantly? Apple only allows you to buy from 1-10 iPhones at a time.
You were off by a lot more than 4, but I guess you both misread the post you’re replying to and didn't read my reply to you at all..
An unnamed 27-year-old man who purchased 300 iPhones from Apple Fifth Avenue on Monday morning was robbed shortly after leaving the store, according to 1010Wins Radio in New York.
He was carrying 300 iPhone 13s in three bags and walking to his car at 1:45 a.m. when another car pulled up next to him. Two men jumped out and demanded that he hand over the bags. Not wanting to hand over 300 iPhones, the victim put up a fight and was ultimately punched in the face before thieves made off with one of the bags.
The bag contained 125 iPhones that were worth $95,000. Police said the man in question often made large iPhone purchases from the Fifth Avenue Store in order to resell them through his small business. It is not clear why he was making the purchase at 1:00 in the morning, nor whether he was specifically targeted based on past purchasing habits.
Apple's Fifth Avenue location is open 24 hours a day, allowing for the early morning purchases. Apple also had a Black Friday sale going on at the time, which the thieves may have been aware of.
The NYPD is investigating the robbery, and the victim was not seriously injured. A description of the suspects and their vehicles has not yet been released.

He had just bought them and needed to reach his car, and it was early morning and he didn't want to wait until later to leave the shop.Why would someone be walking with 300 iPhones worth $228,000 so early in morning by himself? Thats crazy.
Yes, I get that. The boxes have gotten a good bit slimmer over the past few years, but that's still a decent volume of packaging and well over 100lbs. in goods. I'm just imagining what this looked like going down the street.
