Reno Apple Store burglarized
The Summit Sierra Apple Store in Reno, NV was burglarized early Sunday morning. The thieves smashed a window with a large rock and took off with $7000 worth of unspecified computers and iPods. The store's surveillance cameras caught the act on tape, but the police are still looking for the two suspects - said to be Caucasian or Asian males in their teens or early twenties. Police are asking anyone with info to call the anonymous tips line at 775-322-4900.The Summit Sierra store is located right next to a JCrew. No word on whether the punks also stole a bunch of khakis and polo shirts...

Yeah, the Apple store here in Albuquerque was busted open over the weekend. I went on Saturday, and one of the huge glass doors was replaced with plywood. Inside, about 12 macbooks were gone. They placed a few Macbooks out, and I'm sure tons of iPods were taken too. But it was ridiculous, and sad.

ha! what amateurs! did they purposefully go around and pick up the cheapest stuff in the store?! only 7k? that is like robbing a bank and getting away with all the rolled up coins and leaving all the paper money.

It was probably some guys from the local CompUSA that are pissed that the Apple store actually provides SERVICE and has COMPETENT sales people... lol.

"two suspects - said to be Caucasian or Asian males in their teens or early twenties"
That narrows it down then...

Exactly what I was thinking!
It's not a word in the English language, and even the spell check in Safari underlines it. The word they were looking for was 'burgled'.
