#2Isn't it likely that Apple knows some unique identifiers of all these stolen devices that they can track once they come online?
Should be very interesting data to track these devices, telling investigators and Apple a lot more than just were the devices ended up.

That comment should have stayed where you found it. It might be appropriate in that community, but it's just content-free noise here.

#5Forty minutes? I'd have guessed cameras and other security systems would trigger an alarm.

This group sounds at least semi-professional. It sounds like they cased the store for a while to analyze the habits of the janitor, picked a really convenient evening for a heist (what's everybody doing on NYE? exactly), knew there'd be a security guard inside and had the drop on him, then ignored display items since they're more likely to be protected against theft (customers of the store touch them daily).
They sound smart, honestly, so I wouldn't be surprised if they disabled any alarm as well.

I guess they get sold on ebay and the like and the only time one of those identifiers turns up is when a poor guy walks into an apple store and tries to have a faulty part of his "brand new" macbook replaced.
Maybe somebody finds a pattern and gets the thieves, but I'd bet against it.

voting is how you state your preference, I don't think we need self-appointed policing as replies. Noise indeed, how ironic.

There should be a name for this strange ultra-capitalist subjectivity, perhaps iI?
The first, little, i masquerades as a self, but is actually a corporate identity.
