How Many Thieves Does It Take to Clean Out an Apple Store? Five!

It’s been said (and it’s true) that that Wintel PCs are cheaper than Macs. While that’s a negative in this recession, it might be a positive — for thieves. At least, that’s what was evidenced at the Marlton, New Jersey Apple Store.

To answer the question above, it takes five thieves to take 23 MacBook Pros, 14 iPhones, and 9 iPods. All in 30-some seconds, no less. By the time the security guard came, everyone was gone. So was everything, apparently. It all happened Wednesday morning at 2 AM.

Watch the security footage:
