Soon, Apple will begin to remove the security cables that hold its iPhones to the display tables. It is said that the intention of those in Cupertino is that potential customers can enjoy the test experience 100%, which includes that they can put them in their pocket. There are many of us who think that then it will be easier to steal them, and the last robbery in an Apple Store it does not help to think otherwise.
It was The MetroWest Daily News who has commissioned to publish police statements that the Apple Natick Collection, Massachusetts, store was the scene of several robberies that took place Tuesday. The robbers were an as yet unidentified group of young men and women. It is believed that they were dozens of people who were hooded and they moved and robbed in groups.
Robbery in an Apple Store: «They traveled in a group. They entered together cheekily and stole »
The thefts (video of one) were made in less than a minute in which the thieves entered through the door, went through the tables where the boxes of the new iPhones were, took the terminals and left. That said, everything seems to indicate that the store was not as well guarded as one might expect. It is possible that these thefts are related to others that took place last week in a different Apple Store.
El total value of the coup amounts to just under € 12.000 (about $ 13.000), which would add to last week's robberies. These blows could be an isolated event, but it is impossible to stop thinking that if they have been taken by taking the terminals of some tables that are supposed to be guarded, what will happen when Apple decides to eliminate the security cables from its iPhone? Will these robberies make the Cupertinos rethink their plans?
€ 13000 functional sale, if they are mere paperweights and for pieces… € 2000 and give thanks.
You don't have to buy stolen products.
Hello, Vlm. In theory you are right, but think about it like this: I have a device that I want to sell and I am going to sell it for € 10. If you steal it from me, we can think that I have not lost anything because I already had it, but I was going to sell it for € 10, so you have stolen the € 10 that I will not get when I sell my device. Another thing is what you get with the sale.
A greeting.
Total, they have stolen 13 phones, taking into account the price at which they are.
In my city (Almería) they entered a rosellimac at night with an all-terrain vehicle, as far as I know the stolen iPhones, especially in the store, are worth nothing (I don't know if I'm wrong), and such a prepared coup will be made by people who They know that they do not work (if I am not wrong) which makes me think that many of these thefts may be designed by the owners themselves to collect insurance ...
