Poll: How to rob an Apple store in 30 seconds

[JWAN]

What the fuck?! It is wrong but those guys are skilled. The American news is so fucking stupid. The 'action cam' commentator sounded like he was commentating on a sports game?! Seriously they need to wise up and get professional, like the robbers

Your judging all of American news from one media outlet in New Jersey? Lol.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Aren't these Mac people supposed to be smart? Who the hell has a computer store in New fucking Jersey and only has a single pane, plate glass windows over the store front separating street trash from thousands of dollars of goods? WTF!. We have the technology to make a computer as thin as a sheet of paper but we can't go and get some 1,3/4 inch Plexiglas and run some wire mesh through the middle? Is it REALLY that difficult to secure a store front against a brick?

Besides its obvious that these people have done this before and they probably wont get caught because i doubt the Apple people were smart enough to put a tracking number in them because they sure as hell weren't smart enough to get anything better than a craptastic window to guard this merchandise.

In my book that store deserved it. The criminals should go to jail but that is the worst security window I have ever seen.

FYI start feeding your security guard weapons training not Krispy Kream's.

anyone want to buy a macbook pro? just don't ask where it came from....

See that would be my problem. While they do give me a bit of an aesthetic hardon I really can't see the purpose of them.

I must be the only person who doesn't have crashing or errors on Windows.

Actually I've seen multiple shorts of US news 'journalists' trying to tell a serious story, didn't accredit them at all.

 

[ddon]

sooner or later they will find how to stop it. try one way and another will stop it.

 

[teutonicman]

Hahahaha! Take that apple and your overcharged merchandise.

 

[TheNumber1Zero]

oh,that kind of apple.

I was thinking of something much fruitier.

mmmm...fruit

 

[CIA]

MacBook Pros worth $3000. While MS does the same for $1000. I'm glad. I wish people would rob them more to put them out of business.

Microsoft doesn't sell computers.

This is pro: http://www.thesun.co.uk/sol/homepage/news/2585699/40m-blaggers-fake-faces.html ram raids aren't.

 

[Disaster Button]

Only 31 Macbook Pros?
Pfft, Amateurs..
I kid, I kid.

I find it funny as he says: "Watch as the thieves show skilled practice!"
They... threw something through a window? Woohoo, they must be masters of breaking and entering, for sure.

And OP: I'm sure people would have broken in, regardless of the footage that was shown. It's a nice store.

"And like a pro they shatter the glass with one strike!" That commentator was hilarious

 

[Rigs83]

These guys show that planning helps and having a lot of glass might look cool but will screw you over in the end.:

Spoiler: video

I have a question for you escapists:

Should the media have shown you the CCTV footage as now many people now have a great idea for robbing an apple store? or any store with lots of glass?

That's a classic smash and grab. That's why you see those concrete pillions in front of Targets, Sears and most malls. I did clap because they may have been thieves but the were professionals and I always respect someone who does the job professionally.

 

[happysock]

You gotta give them credit was very well pulled off, not saying it's right though.

Meh doesn't really matter if they show the footage tbh.

 

[Imat]

If you need to be shown a video on how to break into a store with GLASS DOORS, then... just stop, you're just going to hurt yourself and break innocent glass.

Besides, a truly skilled thief would have made this an inside job.

A truly skilled thief woulda gone into sneak mode while the store was still open, pickpocketed the guard's keys (Which he wouldn't notice were ever missing cuz he can lock the doors without them), waited till 1-2 AM, then just walked in and taken everything (He may need to equip some feather boots or something along the way to carry all that weight, I figure each of these must weigh at least 5-10 units, so all 30 or so would be 150-300 units. Unless you recently hit your third day of Vampdom, that's a lot of weight to suddenly acquire. Gray Fox's Cowl could help here, though, seeing as how it could support the entire weight no problem. You'd just have to worry about your bounty...

 

[forgetaboutme]

Weren't the macs/iphones/ipods they stole just show models? Correct me if I'm wrong, because I'm not familiar with how an Apple store runs, but it would be a good idea to have show models out instead of the actual computer.

(And even if they took the real ones, it still wouldn't come with all the stuff required for the mac. Like, chargers, the OS cd, etc.)

 

[Sampler]

Haha - I prefer these dudes idea:

sex shop ftw!

 

[TimeLord]

I bet a group of 5 escapists couldnt steal 31 macbook pros and a bunch of Ipod touches in 2 minutes.

I would like to see that!

I would like to point out that it's the stores own fault when the entire front is made of glass! Get some metal shutters next time!

Those plate glass windows aren't easy to break. Throwing a brick doesn't do shit. You'd probably have to get it with a sledge hammer or something.

Oh I know. But it's not like breaking one requires a Master's Degree to accomplish

 

[Kriptonite]

AWESOME!! I really couldn't care less about what happens to an Apple store. I don't like any of their products. Anyway, did anyone hear that news reporter? He sounds proud of them. "See how they were savvy enough to wear masks?(not a direct quote)" Well NO $H1T! Wow, I think the reporter is one of the robbers.

I would have only been suspicious if he said "Look at that handsome robber - doesn't he look well endowed"

Didn't you hear it? It was right after the mask part and right before giving out his social security number!
