Looting was also reported in North Philadelphia where thieves struck retail stores like GameStop and Walmart. SkyFOX hovered over a Family Dollar in West Philadelphia that appeared to have been pillaged by looters.

That must’ve been easy. No bigger bunch of wusses than employees at an Apple Store.

Don’t cell phone manufacturers, just brick stolen phones, so they are not usable?

The crime increase is because they are illegals, not neighborhood, wayward yutes !

I can’t blame the Apple employees for standing aside. If one of them should touch a peaceful looter, Apple would be sued and the employee would be fired.

And if the peaceful looter was actually injured by the employee, the employee very well could be arrested. Excessive use of force, and all that.

Side note: I don’t know about Philadelphia. But there have been many instances of Good Samaritans trying to do the right thing in NYC subways, and getting stabbed for their troubles.

So, yeah. A store employee’s best move is to stand aside. Let the cops deal with it.

If we remove tax deductibility for stolen shrink, merchants might be less inclined to tolerate looting.

One would suspect, if these other manufacturers had an ounce of brains, they would be able to brick theirs too, but who knows for sure?

Yes... And every stolen device is probably put into a database that alerts carriers to not activate them if they are not bricked.

“Teenagers.” They can’t even identify the problem.

Well, I certainly don’t want these pieces of 💩 to be stealing phones, but you would think the idiots would figure out that the phones will be unusable, but I just thought of something else. Could these stolen phones be shipped to other countries, and used overseas?

Would you stand up to a mob so that hundreds of thugs can steal iPhones that can’t be activated?
