Well, if it is organizecd crime I could imagine they could use some sort of coercion on the store manager. Or even better yet they could simply bribe a store manager. But if there is a manager with the power to unlock then he is the weak point.
- yardie 7y agoWalking into an Apple Store and threatening the manager is a quick way to end up in prison for a long time. The stores are under heavy surveillance. Don’t let the lack of guards fool you, they know who is doing what with loads of face tracking.

These stores are all over the world it's probably not impossible to convince the manager of a foreign Apple store in a highly corrupt country making peanuts to reset iCloud logins on stolen US phones that have been shipped over.

But my bet is there are plenty of people out there willing to take the bribe for what ever reason. I think they get about $65,000usd salary on average according to glassdoor. Plenty of room to take offers for a better lifestyle.
