A group of four young men are wanted for robbing $20,000 worth of merchandise from an Apple Store, all caught on security cameras in broad daylight - the latest in a series of lootings across California.

Stores should hire a security guard with a pile of bricks. When the looters are inside throw a brick on the hood of their car and through the windshield. Do more damage than what they will get in return fencing their stolen goods.

I’m wondering if these theft gangs are why we suddenly have all the overcharging third party vendors on online stores? Anyone know??

[dfwgator]

If they started stealing from celebrities, I would cheer.

[SaxxonWoods]

Guess what else is going to inflate very soon.

Theft insurance rates.

That’s a business expense so it will be passed through to customers by adding the cost to the price of products.

Think of it as a welfare program.

[Regulator]

Izz reparashuns!!

Timmy Cook agrees, will allow looting at all Apple stores in future

But only for non-Whites

[George from New England]

None of the smart devices will be operable without activation codes. Black market maybe, but easy to be disabled permanently.

[SaxxonWoods]

They are driving stolen cars, dude.

[V_TWIN]

$20k of apple gear huh?

What was that, like 3 laptops?

[dfwgator]

How long until Apple would remove those restrictions? After all, not doing so would be racist, or something.

[SaxxonWoods]

“They are driving stolen cars, dude.”

Or dude-ette, pardon me.

[George from New England]

“Theft insurance rates.”

On the insurance note ..

Son owns condo in Florida. Rates are skyrocketing even on 4 story structures. They were cancelled at renewal after Surfside collapse.

The word ‘theft’ works both way.

[WASCWatch]

Exactly. I was in an Apple store a few years ago and asked about what happens if product is stolen. The guy told me the exact same thing.

[Dr. Sivana]

What was that, like 3 laptops?

One partially decked out Mac Pro.

[DPMD]

$20,000? That’s, like, one iPad.

[DPMD]

I reviewed posts after submitting mine. Should’ve known I wouldn’t be the first. Good on ya.

[Bikkuri]

I can already see them claiming “racism” when all of the businesses start closing down.

[Veggie Todd]

Let them touch those things for once!

[The Antiyuppie]

“Guess what else is going to inflate very soon.

Theft insurance rates.”

Auto insurance rates say, “Hold my beer...”.

[SMARTY]

Cal. voted themselves into this nightmare

[The Antiyuppie]

Now there will be a “Louis Vuitton purse desert” for the mucky-mucks. What WILL they do?

Well, when that happens, maybe we will see some action.
