I used to work at an Apple Store and although while I was an employee I was absolutely forbidden to discuss this (apple PR wanted to pretend it didn't happen), I can at least somewhat anonymously divulge somewhat the information now: My apple store was robbed during Christmas when the power went out. The store was literally packed to the point where it was a fire hazard, the power went out for 10 to 15 seconds, and when it came back on, we were missing nearly every demo iPod and iPhone. They never found the culprits. I was impressed.

That's an impressive heist: sneak people in where they won't be noticed in a crowd, cut power to the store, and in the momentary scuffle of people leaving you'll never be caught. Either that, or there was an ordinary power outage and quite a few people got the same idea at the same time. That's probably more likely since they only grabbed the pocketable stuff.
