Assuming it's $2k for the laptops, $500 for the iPhones, and $250 for the iPods, that's $55,250.
Not bad for 31 seconds of work.


They might have spent days or more studying the patterns of the guard, casing the store to make sure things wouldn't be chained up, and planning the escape route.

If you factor in the price of the risk load they exposed themselves to, it's only a good deal if they're career criminals. 55k / 4 people... Did they have a 20% chance of spending 2 years in jail and never being able to get a good job in the future because they have a felony breaking and entering theft and significant jail time on their record?

I wouldn't call them "pros", it doesn't take a lot of planning to say "Hey! We can break the glass, grab everything not nailed down and lets make sure to wear masks. You take the back, I'll grab the front." etc. My question is, most of the stores I've been to with laptops and such lying around like that, the laptops and the iPhones or whatnot are all attached to the table or whatever by a locking cord etc. I haven't been to many apple stores though so perhaps its just different there.

Thieves hit the store's plate glass door with a blunt object. Like pros they bring it shattering down with one strike
There are professional glass pane breakers? Time to get me a new job!

They likely used pane killers for this job.


You must die now.

23 Macbooks, 14 iPhones and 9 iPods?!?!?!?

"shit" here, being the important point.

You beat me by 7 minutes! GRRR!


Took me only 31 seconds to post it

My dad brought home the incredible Macintosh 128k one day and I LOVED it. (apparently the list price was something like $2500 USD in 1984, thanks, Dad!) I spent hours and hours on it. It supported creativity like no other data appliance of the time. I have always appreciated what apple does. I must even recant some of my heretical talk about the iphone.

You said you're getting an iphone this month, Dag. When you go to the apple store, don't be afraid when they put those electrodes on your scalp and you go to that glowing white temple and meet The Mighty Jobs. It's pretty neat.

Last time I saw something like this, it was in front of an Apple store on the day they released the nano.

I remember playing BG back in 1999 or 2000, so I assume around those times.
