Stealing things is bad and the vast majority of us can all agree on that. But stealing iPhones from an Apple Store isn't just a bad idea, it's a downright stupid one as three people now know. British Police report that they stole a total of 17 iPhones worth around £17,000 (around $21,400) from the Meadowhall Apple Store in Sheffield at around 5 pm on Monday, December 4. A matter of hours later, they'd been caught.
While it hasn't been confirmed which iPhones were taken, the high value for just 19 phones suggests that these were iPhone 15 or iPhone 15 Pro models, likely ripped from demonstration tables at the front of the Apple Store. I bought my iPhone 15 Pro Max from this very store and, like so many Apple Stores, the high-value items are so close to the front doors that it's a constant surprise that things like this don't happen more often.
