The story goes that a group of thieves cut a hole in a Best Buy roof, repelled down, snatched $26k worth of Apple notebooks, and climbed back up. They did all this without touching the floor or setting off any alarms, too. This isn’t the plot of Ocean’s 15 either. This happened for real at the South Brunswick New Jersey location yesterday.
Just imagine the amount of planning it took to pull this off. They had to know the exact location of the goods, along with the type of security employed by the store. They had to know inventory status and what store to hit. I have to admit that I worked out several sophisticated “what-if” burglary schemes in my head during my six years at a Circuit City, but none of them involved rappelling equipment. Maybe I need to think bigger in life.
“High level of sophistication,” said Detective James Ryan, a police department spokesman. “They never set off any motion sensors. They never touched the floor. They rappelled in and rappelled out.”
they never touched the floor but they surely did walked all over the roof, and the side wall to get to the roof.
your point is
He expects them to take a CSI: Miami like dust print of the shoe. Then, find out all the shoe makes and brands from the police shoe database. Then, cross reference people who purchased those shoes in the area in the last year with all facebook and twitter posts relating to “I got a new macbook”.
Zing!
How do they know it is not an insider job? All it takes is an employee turn off the alarm/sensor, grab the stuff and turn the sensor back on.
The security system of my school keeps a log of when it was turned on or off. So they would know if someone from inside did that. Best Buy must have one of those.
Most large corporations like best buy use an alarm monitoring service. The service would have known when the alarm was armed / disarmed.
Might have something to do with the hole in the roof.
Why would touching the floor matter? Its not like there are pressure pads under the carpeting.
There may not even be motion sensors.
doubt there are pressure pads.
but do you know how to read? Because it specifically says motion sensors.
No, I dont, please enlighten me.
I know what it says. It also says “High level of sophistication” tying a rope to something, cutting a hole, and then jumping down doesn’t not make this a “sophisticated” crime. Just because it is in print does not make it correct.
“Just because it is in print does not make it correct.”
Just because you say it is wrong doesn’t mean you’re right either. Oh, and you’re not smarter than everyone else, so just be a loser elsewhere.
Apple stuff just stays stolen
This commercial is now a little more awesome.

When they did hole in the roof, the debris would have fallen on the floor and that should also make some noise.
They where GeekNinja’s ….. they used that smoke cloud powder to cover there heat signitures and used the hole in the roof as missdirection……just remember most people that do this kind of stuff usually try to do it again, and get busted…..
Not mission impossible reminiscent… Manalapan NJ store robbery reminiscent of 2002 where the SAME EXACT THING was done on the daylight savings time day (in order for the robbers to gain an extra hour) to pull off a (close to) $200,000.00 heist
Shit dude that’s where I live lol
I hope they know that the dam things will be worth shit in 6 months!
