Good golly, what kind of Mac is that? I just spec'd out a Macbook Pro at Apple's website with the highest-end options available, and only came up with $4400.
And on the thievery in general, I'm sure many of the "protestors" are the normal homeless folk who are just cashing in on free meals and probably cheap/free drugs and booze. Leaving expensive stuff or cash lying around is just begging "steal me!"

Maybe it was a tricked out MAC with special autograph and a golden EIB microphone on the case?
