iPad Thieves Target NYC Apple Store

[Pyroflea]

[citation][nom]gm0n3y[/nom]The irony is that Apple is stealing their customers money by selling them the overpriced / mostly useless iPads in the first place.[/citation]

Lmao, indeed.

Gee, do you really need to say the race in an article...ON THE INTERNET? it always sparks racist jokes

Cool it on the racist/insulting comments. If it keeps up, comments will be turned off for this thread.

I take no offense in the matter. This stuff is hilarious.

Well at least the thieves will actually sell these iPads for a better price than Apple's tax probably

Searching e-bay and craigslist for dirt cheap iPads. 😉

I am the Hispanic thief. To confess, I thought they were Tacos. But no, they taste no good .. How I gonna feed my babies .. WuWu....🙁

Was there even any remotely good reason to put the h word in the story *twice*? Honestly Toms, you were begging for a racist outburst. While I personally couldn't care less what anyone says online (I have read and seen the worst things imaginable already) that doesn't mean it needs to proliferate. This could have been defused before the comments even started. Please, publish responsibly.

Blaming Toms for the racist outbursts above is entirely without merit. Folks are responsible for what they posted. Period.

Agreed, its like blaming a woman for not wearing a Burka after being raped.

Why are the totally offensive comments about tacos and anchor babies still in the comments section? Because its popular to be an isolationist, racist POS of a human being here in America right now?
Those comments should be scrubbed. Hell, the people who made those comments should be scrubbed from the face of the earth.

I think everybody on both sides of the racial argument need to grpw the f**k up.

Grow up for resorting to the pathetic "comedy" material that is racial stereotypes, and grow up for being offended for merely words on a screen - nobody here is actually advocating, or planning on lynching the general Hispanic population.

FFS...

Coming this Summer... the movie event of the decade: JOBS GETS EVEN!

They took from him. They STOLE his most prized possessions. Now it's time for a little payback.... Apple style. JOBS takes no prisoners. He accepts no porn. Jobs will NOT stop.

JOBS is getting even.... and Hispanic men everywhere better be ready.... AGAIN!

[citation][nom]mikem_90[/nom]This is why stores need to have delivery and security procedures in place. Cameras watching the delivery area are a must.[/citation]

So they can see them being stolen? If the thieves ask for directions, I don't think they'd be terribly bothered by cameras.

Pot, kettle. Lots of scrubbing and wiping, left and right. But noone looking for my ipad!

The only reason I would steal a box of ipads is to set them free.

They sold them to raise money for that movie they are trying to make, it’s called Machete. Cops should probably look on imdb, I bet that’s him, that Danny guy, he always plays a bad guy anyways. Whenever I see him in a movie and he’s just a delivery guy or something, I’m like, oh no you’re not, I know something bad is going to happen. Do not let him near your ipad.

payne4evr :
not surprised.. mexicans and puerto ricans are thieves by nature.. it's like their 1 a day vitamin.. they have to steal.. even if they have the money to pay for it. b4 u say i'm hatin.. been the victim of theft on many occasions.. and known many other victims.. the thieves are the same.. coincidence? i think not.

It is sad that most of the thefts you have experienced are related to hispanics. But if 5 or 6 hispanics robbed you, that doesn't make all Hispanics thieves by nature, it is solely your point of view and perspective.

Honestly why do people have a problem with this racism. I love racist jokes whether white black Mexican Arab Chinese or whatever, they are funny. Some stereotypes are mostly correct and if someone of that race has a problem with it then quit whining and work to change it or overcome it with something better.

Fact that they didn't learn the first time demonstrates the intelligence of Apple workers
