Maybe Best Buy will allow them to exchange when the i5's come out, small restocking fee of course.
Couldn't resist.

That's actually pretty damn impressive. It's like something out of a freakin' action movie.
Yeah, but if you think about what they took, it's pretty stupid.
They took 20 MBP's that have a retail value of what, $40k? Even less when the new ones come out.
Now they have to sell those, they might make $1200 per machine on the street, so street value totalling about $24,000. Split that between a few guys, and figure all the work/risk that will go into selling them, and you made $8k to risk your life, risk going to prison, selling them to shady people, which exposes you to all kinds of law enforcement, etc...
So yeah, they are pros, and seem to be very competent, but why not use that skill to steal something valuable, rob a millionaires home for jewels, etc... (I'm not condoning, just observing...)

Dell Laptops?Maybe they were just practicing for something bigger.

"Don't look at me, I didn't do it!"
Isn't there a way they can track computers if they're stolen? Like lojack of something. I thought there was, but maybe I'm thinking of something else.
I love that show.
That is some pretty impressive skills for a thief. They must have seen Mission Impossible. But, they should have stole something else instead of those MacBook Pros, of all the things at Best Buy they could have took.
