Police arrested a suspect Wednesday after a brazen theft inside an Apple Store in Berkeley, California, where shocked customers watched the scene unfold.

Detectives with the Emeryville Police Department took Tyler Mims into custody, Fox Business reported Thursday.

Video footage shows the suspect, wearing all black and a pair of red shoes, allegedly grabbing items inside the store and ripping their cords out of the display tables. The store’s alarm is heard, and people are seen watching from a distance.

I think that it would be very entertaining to have a stolen phone put a remotely commanded dead short across the LiPo battery. It would leave thieves with a burning reminderof their bad ways.

Defense Attorney: “Members of the jury, have you ever seen a more loyal son than my client who did this in order to be sure to be able to call his lonely and sickly mother? He didn’t want her to be the one who says to her friends ‘He never calls me.’” (Jurors fighting back tears.)👵🏿

I wonder how many other stories like this are known to a few people?

Alternate ending: Former employee at home questioned by family: “So now who are we supposed to pay the rent and our bills now that you were fired for interfering? Our credit rating is going to be shot really soon. And I think that thief and his two thug friends have been following me today. And how much is a lawyer going to charge by the hour to defend you against the thief’s lawsuit against you for being a a racist? I feel totally hopeless now.”

“I am poor, through no fault of my own. Everyone I call is richer than me. But they won’t share. So I make them share.”

Nailed it. That's the mindset of black criminals. Instant reparations from whitey.

Karma will be a b*tch when whitey kicks back.

If you were an employee your pink slip and final check would be waiting for you when you got back from the next county over.

A useless CEO phone is known as a brick. It’s also a verb, i.e., “Apple will brick the phone.”

He was clearly bigger than that punk. I would have kicked his ass into the next county.

I'm sure you would have, you're one big badass!

If you couldn't have pulled out your gun and done a double tap to his center of mass, you likely would have pulled out your combat knife and cut his throat.

We're lucky to have combat Rambos participating on this site......We salute you for your courage sir!

I have read (here) that they are brought to the Middle East and there IS a process now to unlock and use the stolen Apple phones.
