my first apple store robbery
by Justin Horn on Oct 15th, 2008 @ 10:54 pm
Well I went to my local apple store here in Miami to see if they had the new macbooks on display yet. I was just being an apple bum and hanging out talking to a friend that works there. He told me they got the new macbooks in that afternoon and they were in “the back”. Because they didn’t get them till the afternoon they had to delay setting up the new displays until after they closed for the night.
Then out of nowhere I here the smack of a sneaker on the apple store floor followed by those annoying alarms sounding (yes, I’ve set them off accidentally before). I turn around to see two kids, maybe 17 at most, running out the door with two of the old macbooks. Everyone was just kind of looking at each other with the classic WTF face on. There was no official security guard on duty since it was 9PM on a Wednesday and no one else ran after them. So as mentioned earlier this apple store was quite lucky that they were shipped the macbooks late so the only thing these kids accomplished was removing macbooks the staff would have removed a couple hours later anyway 
So kids if you are going to steal from the apple store right after a new product announcement make sure they have the new ones on display before you steal them…dumb kids!
And for those ebayers out there…if you see 2 old school “used” macbooks on ebay shipping from Miami, take a pass.

This blog sucks bad.
Sorry to hear you don’t like it, but it’s just for fun so what can I do? But you know what’s awesome about the internet? There are like 8,000,000 sites just like this one you can read since you don’t like this one.
Nah it’s OK dude. I’m over my initial angst against your blog now. Carry on!
