During the night of Monday, several thieves they stole 3600 tablets iPad Mini from inside John Fitzgerald Kennedy Airport in New York, the products being brought directly from Apple's factories in China. The thieves stole 2 pallets of boxes containing the 3600 tablets, even using an airport forklift to move them into their own vehicle. The thieves would have stolen more products if an airport employee had not surprised them while they were loading their car, but even so, they managed to get products worth 1.5 million dollars.
A pair of brazen crooks punched another hole in the lax JFK security when they stole a trove of new Apple iPad minis — worth $1.5 million — from the same cargo building that was the site of the 1978 Lufthansa heist featured in "GoodFellas," The Post has learned. The crooks struck shortly before midnight on Monday and used one of the airport's own forklifts to load two pallets of the tablet computers into a truck, according to law-enforcement sources. They might have gotten more, but the thieves drove off leaving three more pallets of the Apple tablets behind after they were challenged by an airport worker returning from dinner.
Even if we are talking about a large number of tablets and a large amount of money, Apple surely had them insured and the only ones who "suffer" are the customers who will not be able to purchase them and will have to wait a few more days. Thefts of this kind are not that common in the US or other locations around the world and the ease with which the thieves managed to enter the airport premises and load their car is amazing, but JFK is known for having lax security measures .
