42 iPod nanos stolen

Thieves made off with 42 second-generation iPod nanos from the 29th Street Mall Apple Store in Boulder, Colorado, totaling a loss of $8,705. Store employees told police that a 2-foot-by-2-foot Plexiglas display case was noted missing from a table roughly 10-feet from the front door of the store at around 5:00 p.m. on January 9th, according to a report from dailycamera.com. The case contained 42 aluminum 4GB iPod nanos and weighed roughly 30 pounds, with each player priced at around $200. Employees said they noted no suspicious activity on the day the case -- which was set up the very night before it was taken -- disappeared. While all of the stolen iPods had serial numbers, none were recorded prior to the theft. The case was not wired down, store managers said they will not display a similar case in the future, and the police said they have no suspects.

Keep your eyes peeled for someone selling 42 nano's on eBay at the same time.

No cameras?

Don't they have security cameras in these stores? I believe they are linked back to a corporate security center over the net. If they can zoom in on suspects on CSI I expect Apple has the technology to do it too!

Just FYI, you can't take any of the software tools, databases, or quick-conclusion chemistry on that show seriously. In the real world, these tools aren't available to most police departments or don't exist at all.

I swear, my roommates and I just like to take shots at that show when its on since we have a chemist, architect, and computer science major to draw on.

Just so you are aware, The Incredibles was not a documentary...

Next time place the display on the sidewalk out front with a sign reading "Inquire Inside for Purchase" or dangle them on a moble outside the door. http://hangingmobilegallery.com/
