Thieves drive truck through Apple retailer's wall

I was thinking a much more dramatic, breaking glass on Fifth Avenue Store and realize they are in a basement situation.

I'd like to see someone try this at the new Shanghai store.

In my city (in the UK) a lot of shops have installed solid steel bollards in front of their stores -- we've even had whole ATMs being stolen in this fashion.

Any one fancying driving through the walls despite the bollards get quite a jarring -- unfortunately, they use stolen vehicles so they're not bothered if it gets badly damaged.

Here's another source

I guess if you're determined enough, nothing will stop you. Glad nobody has been hurt though. A few years ago I worked at one of the PC world stores in the UK. Our store was targeted a few times, once a small child climbed through an air vent and passed laptops out, another time the side of the building was broken through with a mini JCB digger and laptops taken. Finally, a gang armed with mashetes stormed the front doors at closing time. I left shortly after that for a safer life in the country.

This happened what... several weeks ago? Staying slightly more current (or at least saying that it happened a while ago) would be a good idea, although writing the article at the time of the incident would be the best course of action.

Too bad it wasn't a MACktruck.
