More from the police blotter: Sagemore Apple Store hit by burglars

It's probably not really worth their time or money to track them down, other than to get the thieves. They have insurance and will just get 23+ new laptops.

My favorite quotations from the reporter: "[the thieves] show skilled practice at the art of bringing down a plate glass door" and "Like pros they bring it shattering down with one strike". I believe a well-placed brick is all it takes to bring down a plate glass door. Can we hype this up any more, or perhaps fit in one more cliché? "picked the place clean like there's no tomorrow."

2 minutes later the security guard comes back after the bandits steal at least $40,000 worth of apple stuff. i gotta say how does a guard not hear the alarms going off and not pull his own gun and say hey look you pull your piece ill pull mine. i'm sick and tired of security guards who chicken out when things like this happen its like i don't wanna fill out paper work and have a desk job i'd rather get fired. i hope he gets fired and to tho's of you who think this is cool or funny how would you like it if you got something stolen hu? u want someone to go over and steel your car, your mac, your tv, your furniture. and why does apple have glass doors and windows? shouldn't it be like bullet proof or at least be non-breakable glass its out there? and no locks on the mac books? at a clothing retail store why do you see sensors on stuff $30 or more? when a $2,000 + doesn't get locked up or at least put in a locked room at night. apple totally dropped the ball or at least the manager at this location did.

Didn’t notice the ABC video til now. But still, from the outside....the left hand door was already broken. Not trying to break any news here....just wondering how it could be robbed twice in a short amount of time.

I go to that store often. There are TWO glass doors in the front. One of them was perpetually broken. I was there last week and the one that was previously broken is now a piece of wood painted black. Turns out it was broken during a PREVIOUS robbery. Now they are both broken. Wonder if they have a second piece of wood there now.

Heh, Reporter is Dann Cuellar, the local ABC affiliate's resident hype reporter.

He reports every story that way. Don't have to watch the video; saw it on my local news last night. It's like 'yep, if a story needs to be hyped up to the nth degree, send Dann.

wow, idiots! let's see, that's about $100,000 in product max, but wait, they are floor models and used, without power supplies or original packing...they'll get half-price tops. So $50K divided by 5 dudes...down to $10,000 each after all the work trying to sell them. They're going to have a lot of sleepless nights wondering if the cops are closing in or wondering if someone in the group bragged about it to an untrustworthy friend... risking all that stress and probable jail time for only 6 months at minimum wage in booty? There are better ways to make money.

Sorry again, here are some spell corrections... (btw... TUAW: you should really implement a comment edit feature, It's not that much to ask for... now, is it?)

able to authenticate to machines should be "able TO authenticate THE machines"
and the last correction:
in conjugation with should be IN CONJUNCTION WITH

Here come some eBay bargains on MacBooks.......... new, without box or power cord
