Rather smart thieves are reached to seize Apple products worth $500,000. They dug into the inventory of an Apple Store located in a commercial area of Lynnwood, in the US state of Washington. They did not smash the shop window, but operated much more discreetly by breaking into an adjacent store. They then drilled a hole in the adjoining bathroom of the Apple Store…
According to Lynnwood police, the theft was committed on a Sunday evening, the day the two stores were closed. The employees were only able to notice the theft on Monday morning. What do we have today for half a million dollars at Apple? A little more than a rag and AirPods: the villains left with 436 iPhones, iPads and Apple Watches. On the other hand, they have abandoned Macs!
If the burglary was captured by the surveillance cameras of the commercial space, the police may have difficulty identifying the robbers: the latter were indeed hooded and they left no fingerprints. The pilfered devices will end up on the black market, where they can eventually serve as reserves of spare parts. Apple will indeed be able to block them remotely thanks to their serial numbers and IMEI numbers…
