What is the world coming to!  Not even precious Apple stores are safe from crime.  :)

I caught this story on my local news last night and now it seems its getting national attention.

A couple of thieves decided to break into an Apple store last night.

They smashed the familiar glass front of the Apple retail store in Evesham, NJ, and they made quick work of gathering up 14 iPhones, 24 Mac Book Pros and 9 iPod Touches.  Seems they grabbed all the demo units they could carry.

Wonder if we’ll see some cheap iPhones show up on Ebay very soon.

You can see the full story, including the video footage, here.

    The funny part is that Apple had a guard in there….

    They did but apparently the thieves either had or said they had a handgun.
