Snatch and Grab thieves grab 17 iPhones, iPads and two computers from the Corte Madera, California, Apple Store valued up to $24,000. Unfortunately for the thieves, it is simple for Apple to brick everyone of those devices. In addition, all of the devices except the two computers are dedicated demo locked and password protected already. Good luck getting into the devices without the user names and passwords. Apple can completely lock and brick them before the thieves can sell them for any purpose other than spare parts. That's what we did when a burglar stole $10k worth of Apple computers from my office. — PING!

Is there such a thing as a Thunderbolt 2 “thumb drive” that would transfer data at the 20gbs speed versus my USB 3 port of 5gbs speed ? Routinely carry a 1TB thumb drive with media, backups etc when I travel an was wondering if such a Thunderbolt Thumb Drive exists ?
