Yeah but...those machines are huge and weigh a lot. Pound for pound, Apple gear is worth much more.

- aardvarkr 4y agoIf they have the capability to tunnel underground and remove hundreds of pounds of dirt then surely they have the capability to transport an 80lb machine
- ceejayoz 4y agoThey didn't do that. They just carved out some drywall between stores. You could do it in a couple minutes with $100 worth of tools (or a sledgehammer, if you wanna go low-tech).

- snapetom 4y agoThose two stores are right in the middle of a long, open pathway. It’s a decent distance to the parking lot. Dragging huge espresso machines would certainly get someone’s attention. There’s truck patrols and foot patrol regularly walk along that pathway.
- ceejayoz 4y agoDon't they remotely lock stolen phones so they're largely useless?
- jeffbee 4y agoThe thief only needs to find a buyer who doesn't know this.
- anakaine 4y agoThere's been a few writers where stolen phones have been tracked back to China where they are stripped into parts, with those parts then being sold on the grey market. Most of the parts are not locked to the device, with a few exceptions.
- tzs 4y ago> Pound for pound, Apple gear is worth much more. Once upon a time I looked at my iPod and wondered how much space it would take if I spent an entire year's pay on iPods. I worked it out and it was kind of depressing to realize that a year of my work would only buy about 1/3 ft^3 of iPods which would weigh under 50 pounds (9000 cm^3 and 23 kg).
