What do you guys think? Legit? They seem genuinely upset. I hope for their sake they are telling the truth. It wouldn't be hard for Apple (or Verizon) to find out if they were lying once someone tries to activate, right?

Holy ****, the tears!

Epic first world problems right there.

This will be sorted out and is simply an inconvenience for the family.

I read a post on here similar to this. Apple seems to be making good on these situations.

i wouldn't consider this a first world problem. They are dealing with Theft period. Theft happens everywhere.

Lol are you getting ideas? yes they will find out as soon as it's activated only thing the thief can do is flash it and sell it internationally

Of course it's a first world problem.

There was a delivery issue with an expensive luxury device they ordered and they are crying on the local news!

It's being alleged that someone tampered with the box pre-delivery. It will get sorted out and they will get a phone delivered as promised. It will just inconvenience them as their luxury device will be delayed a little longer.

Perfect example of a first world problem.

This must be how the microwaved-iPhones, drop-tested-iPhones and glued-to-sidewalk-iPhones are acquired.

Definitely a first world problem. It's a smartphone for crying out loud. Yes, it sucks but it's not the end of the world. Apple should have these shipments insured and a replacement will be given.

I can not believe that this made the news.

This stuff happens in the shipping business. Does anyone think this is the first time?

Sometimes it is stolen. Sometimes people play games.

Fedex and VZ will deal with it.
