Two break-ins so far this week.
- Through the roof: LA Times (July 9): Burglars cut hole in Best Buy roof, climb in and steal $93,000 in Apple goods, police say
- Through the front window: Houston Chronicle (July 10): Four masked men drive stolen pickup into Apple store near River Oaks
My question: Do stolen iPhones even work? Don’t they have GPS tracking and a kill switch?
Looks like thieves passed on Samsung promo: Steal One, Get One Free 🙂
Hi Jeff,

Sup, Peter 😀
Hi Philip, I heard demo phones get locked after their stolen. Only value is for parts (battery and memory probably) and screen is nearly nil to dependency on connection to secure enclave for TouchID and FaceID. These thieves would do better to grab the laptops vs. iPhones and iPads – but they’re obviously not that bright.
If iPhone’s future is bleak, how come we never hear of organized theft of Galaxy handsets?
