iPhone thieves swipe $133k worth of handsets




Worth Reading?

NoYes


iPhone handcuffsIt's just a matter of time until somebody ram-raids an Apple Store, gets caught, and blames Steve Jobs for making products so alluring that they were morally obliged to steal them.  Perhaps that should be the defence strategy for a couple of dastards in Salem, MA, who were caught by police after stealing 332 iPhones from the Rockingham Park Apple Store; they've apparently been swiping the coveted handsets since last year, and have taken $132,468 worth of stock in total.

Police were called in back in January, with investigating officers spending three months building a case.  Joshua Garrand, 28, of Methuen, Mass., and Christopher Nashed, 22, of Sandown, were both arrested at their homes; the latter is being held on $250,000 bail while the former faces additional "fugitive from justice" charges.

Now who will be the first to make a Jailbreak pun?
