This is shocking! but probably more likely to happen to a store like this because it is out doors. Didn't take them long. Usually takes me 31 seconds to get into the apple store in the day because it is so busy.

"Watch again as the thieves show skilled practice at the art of bringing down that plate glass door" lol.
Judging by the way the "reporter" talks I wouldn't be surprised if he is the robber in the red vest.

If you live in Philly all our news guys are like that cuz of this guy. He is the oldest in our martket. As for the crime; they could find those computer and stuff at any barber or salon in Philly. There is always someone try'n to sale something like that in those places.

Aren't iPhones trackable? And I'm sure Apple has a remote locating device on its display computers.
I mean come on....their doors and walls are made of pure glass--they must expect for this kind of thing to happen.
...then again that security guard wasn't much help.

As I understand, every cell phone sold nowadays has a GPS chip embedded. Let's not forget about the traceable IMEI numbers and possible foreign SIM lock-ups.

The "reporter" seems just thrilled . There was little skill involved in this robbery . Thugs with no class . Still , they did look actually organized . Smart thieves go into politics or investments . These guys will likely get caught eventually . Small potatoes usually do .

You know how you can solve this caper? Just wait til someone walks into an Apple store and buys 46 new power cables to charge up all their new stolen merch. They left behind all those cords, right?

Another reason why main-stream journalism is dead - the announcer (yes, announcer, not reporter) sounds like he's calling a touchdown play he's proud of rather than disgusted at a bunch of thug wannabees.

Like pros? lol It's a smash and grab not a heist. And these guys are most likely gang-bangers or some low-level theft ring. A group of special ed grade school kids, I'm actually offending the special ed kids more than the thieves, could of pulled this off. Solution? Get rid of glass windows and doors.

petarro:
Seems suspicious, I agree. Security guards have guns too as well as the right to use them. You would also think that cables would secure product in place. Perhaps it was a corporate advertising stunt. Or government propaganda to beef up security in public places, building up for future police state- but that's just me going waaay out on the fringe.
Anything's possible though.

Why wouldn't these robbers just steal money. I mean that takes out the next step which is selling all that hardware illegally. What happened to good ol' fashioned bank robbing? Thieves are just getting dumber and dumber. That's probably why there are so many in jail. Get a Fucking Job
