The Fourth Street Apple store in Berkeley, California, for instance, was robbed 3 times in 9 days a couple ofweeks agone by a gaggle of men United Nations agency walked in and grabbed no matter they may.

Something similar happened at another Bay space Apple store -- on Chestnut Street in port of entry -- onNovember twenty five and twenty nine. Police free footage of the event last week within the hope that somebody may determine the miscreants.

What's notable is that the speed with that it all happens.

In the 1st theft, 3 men carrying hoodies enter, grab no matter they'll and, consistent with my calculation, they are gone at intervals twelve seconds.


In the second, four men are available and perform constant maneuver in what feels like constant quantity of your time. The workers and customers simply watch, because the gadgets area unit ripped from the tables and therefore the robbers run.

A port of entry local department interpreter told Maine that no arrests are created. Apple did not forthwithanswer a call for participation for comment.

One of the explanations why Apple has done away with security cables in a number of its stores is that the gadgets may be disabled remotely by being place into Lost Mode, that renders them dead. Perhaps, though, thieves sell them on and create consumers believe that the phones can work.
