don't worry he's gonna ban the thieves
PAYDAY: The Heist - new DLC
iPhone 5 has a safety protocol for blocked devices so if they even turn them on and it connects to the internet for one second the phone will brick itself.
Unless they go on the back market and crack it (which i assume with a non-tethered jailbreak?) and would greatly decrease the price of the iPhone's.
Also just some time ago in Belgium there also was a robbery where loads of iPads and iPhones where stolen :v:
That's like what, a dozen iPhones?

Basically a shopping basket full of 'em
in their retail package

They're not going to use them, they're going to sell them to unknowing consumers
[quote]Armed robbers broke into a central Paris Apple store on New Year's Eve, stealing goods with an estimated value of one million euros (£813,000).[/quote]
Oh so they stole 5 iMacs.
But seriously, wonder if Apple realizes how big of a target they make themselves for thieves by selling their stuff for those prices.
iPhones have the ability to be tracked via gps (find my iPhone). Apple should probably find a way to enable this at a low power level so they can track stolen shipments.
I don't think the robbers would be dumb enough to steal the one or two product lines that have ways to track them embedded in them
I bet they ran off with a bunch of laptops and mac minis and accessories.
I sort of thought what it was that they stole worth £813,000, what is that, 5 Mac's and an iPhone?
Nothing of REAL value was lost.

What about the glass window/door that they broke into?

Why did an Apple store have Windows in the first place? :v:

Find my iPhone works fantastically, up until the point it gets stolen because the can guy turn off the phone or re-install iOS with little effort. When that happens, you're screwed. Sadly, no one wants to be tracked all the time, so Apple could never really implement a system that allows you to find the phone even after it's been wiped (A persistent GPS based on serial number?).
Also, what about the poor sap that ends up with it, they may not even realise the phone was stolen but they could end up in trouble for it. Life is grand, eh? :P
[QUOTE=shian;39074762]What about the glass window/door that they broke into?[/QUOTE]
Isn't that glass deadly to old people who keep walking into it and dying?
So yeah, heroes saved some poor old man's life.
actual value of the technology stolen: £500
[QUOTE=RichyZ;39076874]what if the old person was a corrupt congressmen on vacation in paris?[/QUOTE]
I highly doubt Republicans would go on vacation somewhere in Europe (well maybe except Britain)

You have to decide if you want the luxury of knowing where your phone is,
if it involves Apple knowing when and where and who you fuck
and selling these informations to private or government agencies or your employer.
