Thieves use extreme measures to snatch 20 Apple notebooks
Acrobatic thieves hit N.J. Best Buy avoiding cameras, motion sensors, alarms in daring heist.
They didn’t appear on store security cameras. They cut a hole in the roof and came in at a spot where the cameras were obscured by advertising banners. And they left with some $26,000 in laptop computers, departing the same way they came in — down a 3-inch gas pipe that runs from the roof to the ground outside the store.
Wow, quite a risk pull this one off just for 20 laptops. Since this happened in New Jersey I think I got a pretty good idea of what the suspects may look like:

I bet that at nearly every Best Buy store there’s a severely underpaid and under appreciated employee contemplating a heist like this.
