So as I was leaving today from work I saw that 3 iPhones had been taken from our display. They were there at 5:30 I noticed they were gone as I was leaving at 7!

This just friggin aggravates me.

Bleepin thieves! Unfortunately the alarms weren't set.

Gonna be fun at work tomorrow :(

Good luck at work tomorrow! Do iPhones have PINS that will identify the phones when they're activated?

Just an IMEI which has been given to the fraud dept. Soon as it is activated the user will be contacted

Thieves piss me off.

What's worse is he, she, or it, is likely going to turn around and sell them to three unsuspecting people who are going to lose their money.

I always thought that most of the display phones were fakes and the all had teathers on them like at the local VZW store. Were the phones functional with batteries?

customshopkv1 · 06-13-2008, 07:45 AM

Sucks for whoever ends up buying these stolen phones.

Azurelimits · 06-13-2008, 07:53 AM

Greed got them

They are trying to deny it

Gonna be tough when the video is played for them

TBOLTRAM · 06-13-2008, 11:03 AM

It will be interesting to see how the thieves try and crayfish out of this. Somehow I see that in the end they will blame your store and sue.

(Tongue in cheek comment)
Perhaps we should bring back public flogging and charge admission.
