CLEVER CRIMINAL OF THE WEEK: APPLE STORE MASQUERADE

by Hazed

This week’s criminal story isn’t about a dumb criminal. No, it’s quite a clever one, who managed to rob an Apple store by fooling the staff – who despite working at the Genius Bar were not paying attention!

The New York City Apple Store lost more than $16,000 of Apple goods when a thief walked in dressed as a store employee. He was able to walk through the store and into a repair room without being noticed, where he took 19 iPhones from a drawer. He passed the phones to an accomplice, who hid them under his shirt, and then they both walked out without security realising anything was wrong.

The disguise he used wasn’t even all that sophisticated – it was a blue t-shirt which was “similar” to the uniform the workers in the store wear.

It just goes to show that if you look as if you belong somewhere you can get away with anything.
