This may be a geek burglar's dream come true: breaking into an Apple store filled to the brim with laptops and iPhones. Unidentified robbers have broken into Seattle's Apple Store at University Village, swiping all laptops that were being serviced and refurbished iPhones in the office. The Seattle police was first alerted of the heist on 4 a.m. last Monday when the store's alarm notified them of a rear entry, but there was no indication of anything out of the ordinary. The police finally checked out the site at 8 a.m., only to find the store in disarray. A large hole was found in the technician's room's ceiling, and 20 cubicles were emptied of laptops. Even a high-end laptop was cut loose from its cable lock. One of the more pressing problems aside from the burglary is identity theft, since there is a plethora of customers' personal information stored in the stolen serviced laptops, including credit card information. The Apple Store employees called their customers and notified them of the theft, but they refused to comment to the Seattle P-I reporters. If your own laptop or wallet gets stolen, you're a potential victim of identity theft as well. Don't just report it to the police; immediately alert your credit card company and place a fraud alert as well. It's better to be safe than sorry. |
