Police in Washington state say crafty burglars got away with hundreds of thousands of dollars of Apple merchandise at a mall when they cut through the wall of an adjacent store and snuck in.

The Lynwood Police Department said thieves stole more than 400 items worth about $500,000 total from the Alderwood Mall’s Apple Store after they cut a hole through the bathroom wall of the espresso machine store next door, KOMO News reported.

The incident happened after 7 p.m. Sunday while the mall was closed.

The owner of the espresso machine store said he has not seen anything like it in the five years the store has been in business.

“Our front door was locked. They pried our front door open,” Seattle Coffee Gear Regional Manager Eric Marks told the outlet, adding that the break-in will cost his store around $2,000 in repairs.

As far as I know, only computers, phones and watches can be locked. These is a lot more expensive merchandise in an Apple Store than those.
