[QUOTE=KmScMT;20614138]badASS no macs cost LOTS of money![/QUOTE] Nothing of value was lost when it comes to actual computing technology, Macs are overpriced.
i applaud them :golfclap:
[QUOTE=Perfumly;20611761]I'm glad they included a tutorial in the article, will try this later. 10/10 guide.[/QUOTE] ok guys I tried and the police r at my door i think i got a year in the slammer w8ing for me will post upd8s later
Floor is lava.
[QUOTE=Eli Vance;20609925]They're the most expensive. :cop:[/QUOTE] But the quality value is way below the market value!
[QUOTE=Daddy-of-war;20614095]Macs? Well, atleast nothing of value was lost.[/QUOTE] Considering the Mac laptops in question go for around $1300, I'd say that's plenty of value lost for Best Buy.
Damn these guys seem pretty badass for pulling this off, now they rob Fort Knox!
Id say that if they ever get cought, they should be allowed to keep the laptops as reward for an awesome breakin! :D
$26,000 dollars in apple macs? I thought that was the price for three of them, not 20
I've been brewing a plan like this for a while now, wondering if it would work...now i know it does.
Lol that or they were ultra desperate for a new laptop and couldn't afford them.

[QUOTE=Carbon Knight;20625182]Floor is lava.[/QUOTE] Oh goooooddd
[QUOTE=CourageDog;20609916]the only thing thats not awesome about it is that they stole apple notebooks[/QUOTE] What can I say, apple notebooks are expensive. They probably plan on re-selling them.
[QUOTE=plokoon9619;20625240]But the quality value is way below the market value![/QUOTE] Uhh, no, actually, they're P. good, just over price.
[QUOTE=Eli Vance;20638298]Uhh, no, actually, they're P. good, just over price.[/QUOTE] Exactly. They've over-priced, meaning the market value exceeds the actual value of the systems.
This is pretty impressive. Best Buy should set up a system of visible laser tripwires to deter them from coming back instead of their current security systems.
[QUOTE=CourageDog;20609916]the only thing thats not awesome about it is that they stole apple notebooks[/QUOTE] Kind of like dressing in a Tux before going dumpster diving, isn't it
Me and one of my mates broke in to a coles store after closing time on its opening day through the air vents because the builders left the tress-els at the site. we cut the plastic on all the conveyor belts at the checkouts and took some ice coffees, i was shitting myself the whole time though.
I don't understand how no one was at the store to witness this. At target there are people there 24/7. The overnight crew restocks all the shelves, and deals with the trucks that come in early in the morning. It's usually just as busy employee wise overnight than it is during the day.
Fucking hell, that's actually awesome. God damn it, those thieves [I]deserve[/I] to keep those fucking laptops.
Bra-fucking-vo. Seriously, that's some awesome planning. These guys must have been smoking roofies.
[QUOTE=Strongbad;20646925]Bra-fucking-vo. Seriously, that's some awesome planning. These guys must have been smoking roofies.[/QUOTE] Why would you smoke a date-rape drug
[QUOTE=Gizmodo456;20609924]It will be tragic if the boot print on the pipe gets them caught :/ its always the little things that cause trouble[/QUOTE] Reality != CSI It takes a lot more than that to catch a crook. [editline]04:29AM[/editline] [QUOTE=Strongbad;20646925]Bra-fucking-vo. Seriously, that's some awesome planning. These guys must have been smoking roofies.[/QUOTE] Is this some kind of extremely ill informed pun?
[QUOTE=CourageDog;20609916]the only thing thats not awesome about it is that they stole apple notebooks[/QUOTE] Because they're overpriced, they could easily make big money off of them.
[QUOTE=DiscoPony;20612862]Staking the place out, huh? :cop: That's a lot of work for just a few laptops, though.[/QUOTE] 20 times at least 2 grand. 40k. Its totally worth it.
[QUOTE=teeheeV2;20660785]20 times at least 2 grand. 40k. Its totally worth it.[/QUOTE] The story says $26000 for 20 laptops, that's about $1300 per laptop. I'm guessing that they grabbed a few different models, so there were probably a few worth $2k in there, but not all of them.
[QUOTE=Robbobin;20646863]Fucking hell, that's actually awesome. God damn it, those thieves [I]deserve[/I] to keep those fucking laptops.[/QUOTE] Not really but it's still cool.
At least they stole macs. Gets em out of the store AND the thieves make some good money selling them to people who don't know any better.
