How are they going to fence these things? Don’t they each have an UDID that as soon as someone who bought it and tried going online would be found out? Tracing their purchase back with descriptions for that many individual purchases would eventually lead to the thieves.

the accessories can be bought easy enough there are several mac stores in various malls in the area (bought the Mac I’m using from one and my iPod from another) matter of fact the 2 i speak of are can be accessed via the local buses i lived near one and would often take a bus to the mall where the other was

if they are smart they may have already bought them acctually

the real question is how they are going to nload em the local pawn shops ae out as are craigslist and Ebay

Doc-
Idk if you’ve noticed but in Snow Leopard, Apple changed the iDisk icon to a more “male-friendly” color from pink. Just thought you should know since you ran a piece on it some time ago… (I realize this isn’t the best place to let you know about this but w.e) haha

Wonders if Apple should consider a Smart Water spray system at the front of the stores?

It’s not like Apple can’t afford bulletproof glass, which doesn’t break by blunt objects either, and it would turn off intruders easily.

Oh, forgot to mention the kids did this the last night the old MacBooks were on the shelf back in October of last year. After the store closed that night they were putting out the new unibody MacBooks. Guess they should have done their research before robbing the place.

m4tt, you’d be surprised how easy the MacBooks come up off the table. I was in the Apple store 5 mins from my house when these two kids, maybe 18 at most, grabbed a MacBook each and went running out the door. This was around 8PM with the store filled with people. The little wire alarms went off, but the 2 kids were long gone.

While it’s still a crime, the thieves sure had their shit together and it’s almost like they choreographed it. I think Apple should now invest in Kensington locks for all of these “open air” apple stores

This is actually my local Apple Store and I walked out of the store a minute before they started filming I walked past the ABC news truck on the way to my car as they started filming. My wife works a few stores down, it’s kinda scary that these hooligans could be around when she’s walking to her car.
