42 iPod nanos stolen from Apple Store

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.

i wonder if the thieves had a tip from the inside. Seems like it vanished awfully quickly after being set up...

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/
