Five suspects stole around $100,000 worth of Apple products from Apple Store Burlingame in a brazen late-October robbery.

The theft occurred on the morning of Tuesday, October 24. Five individuals entered the Bay Area retail location and stole a number of unspecified Apple products.

No employees or security staff were injured during the event.

Once finished, the suspects fled in a gray BMW X5 SUV with no license plate, according to Kron4. While police spotted the BMW afterward, they could not stop it successfully, and the suspects are still at large.

In August, a separate group of five defendants was accused of nearly 200 thefts, robberies and fraudulent transactions targeting individual sellers of Apple Inc. merchandise who used online marketplaces.

It’s incredulous Apple cannot figure out an “AppleAstheticallyPleasing” way to install security gates on their stores…

I'm concerned for the intelligence of the genius thieves. Those products will all be locked, so likely sold for parts to the black market. There's definitely different species of humans. Those of us that care about our fellow beings, and those that just don't care about anybody except themselves.
