Description of the iPhones. We don’t know what to look for.

“Another story on the subject described the perps as “black males” so Apple is going to need to have guards at that store now.”

What good do you think that guards would do. You know that they won’t be armed and there are probably 30 local/state laws preventing them from doing anything except perhaps delivering a sternly-worded admonishment. If they are even touched it would be like hitting the lottery for the perps.

Dumbasses. iPhone 7 is just around the corner. Can’t they read? Oh, wait...

I'll take care of that before others jump on it.

Rectangular. Rounded corners.

Probably need to put Comey on the case ... just for laughs of course!

Don't you know? Massachusetts is a STRONG gun control state. Of COURSE, these young men in hoods would be obeying the strict gun control laws and regulations enacted by the enlightened progressive Massachusetts State Legislature and signed by their equally brilliant governor, who are absolutely certain that everyone obeys such laws. . . especially criminals and hoodlums. Therefore, the group of "alternate shoppers" will not be carrying anything threatening to the "Coercive Purchasing Agents" Apple might haved indentured under slave wages to force the evil company's preferred mode of shopping on innocent customers.

Every display device has special software. The thieves will be lucky if all it does is brick the device. More likely they enter a power save mode devoted to transmitting location & pictures.

Or, maybe Barney Frank went into teaching youts how to screw whitey!

[Zeneta]

I don't want to jump to conclusions, but we need to watch out for "Hell's Grannies".

There is a decidedly upscale mall in Jacksonville FL where the Apple store usually has at least two uniformed (and armed) JSO officers at the door. I’ve never been by there without seeing them.

You only get one guess...

That was my first question. 😀😆😄

Hingham is 98% white & quite wealthy....most likely it was spoiled local youth.

About as likely as the Washington Generals beating the Harlem Globetrotters.

[PLMerite]

That’s either a really big horse or a low-rider buggy. Do they have Hispanic Amish ?

[Gritty]

How do they know they were "teenagers" if they couldn't see their faces well enough to give an accurate physical description?

Were they carrying Algebra II books?

[LongWayHome]

It happens:) This will freak out the good liberal folks of Hingham.

[strider44]

I live in Massachusetts, right down the road from where this happened. I have my concealed carry license. It was very easy to get. I own multiple rifles and handguns. I shoot at my local rod and gun club all the time. Plenty of people here carry and are pro-gun.

[Gumdrop]

I know what is missing - the teens were all wearing sweatshirts with their hoods on.

[ETL]

Yes, it was a lowrider buggy.

“Nice” areas are only minutes away by car from thug habitats. If you have mass transit, well, young thugs often get to ride for free, being “students.”

[Trailerpark Badass]

Wrong, lol.
