Just heard upon further inspection, it was an iPhone 6S. They're so similar... honest mistake.
I think it's "burgle" actually, but "burglarizing" really is a word. American language is a thing of beauty.
After the harassment that the person that picked up the iPhone 4 (I think...) after it was left at a bar, I'd never even consider intentionally stealing something from 
(for those that are extrapolating: no, I'm not stealing from anyone else, either)

I heard a rumor it was the Samsung design team innovatizing...What was the reason??? were they Chines leakers trying to steal iPhone 8 prototype
Must be Samsung Minions trying to steal the iPhone 7 prototype...
And realizing they just wasted their time and risked their freedom for another 's' update by Apple (unless you're referring to next year's iPhone which might be called iPhone 7).
Burgled. Past tense of the verb to Burgle.
There is absolutely no need to invent another word.
Hey you guys.. If you want to argue definitions and derivations, take it over to Says You!. I want to say it was one of the episodes in season 17 where they went over this very issue, with great humour (at Merriam-Webster's and Oxford's expense, as usual).

Different meanings. Vandal is a noun as it describes a person. Vandalise is a verb as it describes an action. For example, he is a vandal or he is going to vandalise my car.
Actually, it's not just a pronunciation issue.
Aluminum is the American and Canadian spelling for the silver-white metallic element (number 13 on the periodic table) abundant in the earth’s crust. Aluminium is the preferred spelling outside North America. Neither term is superior to the other, and both are etymologically and logically justifiable. Aluminum is older, while aluminium is more consistent with other element names such as helium, lithium, magnesium, and so on (though let’s not forget there are other -um elements—molybdenum, tantalum, and platinum).
Aluminium has the edge in scientific writing even in North America. This is primarily because several influential scientific organizations and publications prefer the spelling.
Back in the early days of computers, every byte mattered, so by leaving out the extra "i" from Aluminium, they saved companies millions of dollars.
Let's not get started on the pronunciation of "Addidas". You'll start a culture war there.

For me, I enjoy the differences, it makes life more interesting. Like the Apple is versus Apple are issue. It's not just a grammar issue, it's a philosophical issue.
If, as is asserted in America, corporations are persons from a legal standpoint, then it is a logical rendering (singular nouns take is). However, if you take a stand that Apple represents a collection of individuals then it is also logical to say Apple are. I enjoy the fact that people conceptualize things differently and have no desire to force one perspective on everyone.
