“Some ‘James Bond’ thievery was reported in Germany yesterday,” 9to5Mac reports.
“According to the story, thieves pulled up behind a moving truck carrying Apple products on its way to the Czech Republic,” 9to5Mac reports. “They then got out and climbed onto the hood of the SUV, broke open the truck’s door and removed about 160 iPads and iPhones, all while the truck driver was unaware and unable to see anything happening.”
9to5Mac reports, “The Google translation [“Californian cult group”] is almost as entertaining as the video re-enactment.”

MacDailyNews Take: The Google translation (see full article) reads like a John Dvorak article and the video reenactment looks like it was lifted out of an episode of Top Gear.
After they serve their time, these guys should get a TV show or at least jobs as stuntmen.

Fast & Furious Deutschland Style!
I get furious fast too!!! 🙂
It’s zippier!
No need to do that here. Just put up the cones and no one gets hurt.
And the driver didn’t see, hear, or feel anything? Yea right.
You’ve obviously never driven a big truck because you’re not going to hear or feel 200lbs moving in the back of a 3 tonne + truck.
When I was a teen I jumped on the back of a UPS truck and took a ride through the neighbourhood until the driver stopped. He had no idea I was there. Stupid, but fun 🙂
I declare shenanigans! Unless people saw this actually happen, there is no way they pulled this off. I think some of the truck drivers buddies met him along the way and off loaded the merchandise. He and others made up this story as a cover.
Schlafend am Steuer, jawohl
Is anyone trying to steal Android phones??
Crazy. Next time anyone suggests demand is decreasing, point them to these articles.
Pretty slick if that’s the way came down I give him credit pretty slick!
The video is from a similar case in Romania that was recorded by the police. The guys who stole the Apple products from the truck in Germany have not been caught….
It was said there are about 50 similar cases in one the German states (North Rhine-Westphalia). Crazy…
A similar attempted theft, involving a huge number of Samdung phones (well three actually) was foiled when the delivery boy took to the pavement on his bicycle…
i guess next they’ll be stealing at 37 thousand feet from an airbus cargo plane.
Now that’s fast and FURIOUS!!
Sounds more like The Italian Job 2 for me
