Five men rob Apple Store in Greenwich, CT
Apple Store burglars have struck again, this time in Greenwich, Connecticut. Police say that at least five suspects, seen in the surveillance photo to the right, broke through the front door and helped themselves to a whole bunch of Apple products valued in the tens of thousands of dollars. The store obviously had security cameras in place to record the break-in when it happened, but I wonder if any employees also got to watch the robbery in real-time, like this guy who watched on his iPhone as thieves robbed his house. So if you happen to live near Greenwich and receive an Apple product as a holiday present without a gift receipt, you may want to inquire as to where the generous gift-giver was on the morning of December 14. Most of these Apple Store robberies actually turn out well for the stores, since the police usually do a nice job finding the crooks. We'll have to see if the cops in Greenwich are able to catch the parties responsible here and recover any of the stolen merchandise.

With all of the money apple has on hand you would think they would higher resolution cameras in their stores. Megapixel or higher cameras would make it much easier to ID the thieves, and be able to monitor it in real time with or get email alerts.

As an innocent buyer, can you really be held accountable for something you didn't commit? Are these serials put up on some "grid" waiting for them to be registered? I ask because I'm meeting someone tomorrow of Craigslist who's selling an MBP at an outrageous discount ($400 off retail).

They don't look like suspects to me they look like the actual criminals who are perpetrating the crime. The term "suspect" only comes in to play when these pieces of S#@$ are tried in court.
