“Early on the morning of January 3rd, six armed teenagers broke into the Apple Store at Scottsdale Quarter by shattering the front glass,” Buster Heine reports for Cult of Mac. “The crew made quick work of the store and stole between $70,000 – $80,000 worth of merchandise. The burglary occurred before business hours and fortunately no one was harmed. Spotting the thieves as they were fleeing the scene, a local cab driver followed their vehicle down the street. Noticing the trailing cab, the thieves fired two shots at the cab, but both missed and the cab driver was uninjured.”
Heine reports, “Scottsdale Police managed to catch up to three of the burglars a few streets down from where the cab driver last saw them. 19-year-old James Combs, 18-year-old Daniella Sierra and an unnamed 17-year-old were taken into custody on suspicion of felony burglary and weapons charges… Some of the stolen merchandise has been recovered, but police are still searching for the three other persons involved in the heist.”

MacDailyNews Take: Lock the door and throw away the key just for breaking that beautiful building’s glass.
Pretty sure they were sent by samdung!
I believe it is their new R&D department.
PMSL!
Am I the only one who would like a “back” button integrated into the MDN iPad app for I click on an article. I’d like to be able to click “back” and end up exactly where I left off, instead of having to tap the headline in the left column. Sorry to post this here, but I’m not sure how to send this suggestion to MDN.
I totally agree with you. This app is one of the most brain-dead out there. I can only imagine that MDN is not making sufficient income to pay for a halfway decent app. How hard could it really be?
Far from it. But, don’t waste your brainpower hoping for a fix. These guys have been promising fixes for a long time, even responding to emails with what turns out to be outright lies about when changes will arrive.
They really seem to not give a crap about their user base.
Just out of curiosity, how many times have you clicked thru on an ad on this site and bought a product so that MDN could collect their take? I have tried once, but it didn’t work for whatever reason, and, since there’s no back button, it makes it even harder. I would guess the only revenue they’re getting is from the display of ads (relatively speaking), so the business model doesn’t really work all that well I shouldn’t think. Hard to expect much based on such a model in terms of user experience. And yet, it’s all MDN really has to offer, being in the business of re-publishing information that can be found elsewhere and providing a forum for people with nothing better to do with their time to rant about the unfairness of it all, or how the liberals are going to (or already have) mess up this once great country (U.S.).
I wonder if they were white yuppies???? They never say what they look like any more in these articles.
You can probably nab a lot of stuff if you’ve got six arms.
Thank you, I needed that.
Good one… 🙂
You beat me to it! I was wondering if/when someone would comment on that!
But not if you get 3 of them caught in the door.
“Buster Heine”? … You’re kidding, right?
If these idiots were shooting at the cabbie then show no mercy….fry the little fskers. Sorry, robbery is one thing, attempting to kill is another. There are situations where I am NOT a liberal.
‘There are situations where I am NOT a liberal.’
That would every situation for me. I don’t want my adopted country (USA), to go down the tubes like the socialist English dump I escaped from.
@Jean Poole. I’m also in my adopted country (USA) having escaped from the UK. But this is not a political forum. It’s an Apple/Mac forum. Please try to focus.
Sigh…
Go back home. Stop complaining. I love my liberal progressive USA. Idiot conservatives are what is ruining our country. Go fsck u self.
Here we go. I’m much more of a liberal than a conservative, but why the language and extreme vitriol? That’s uncalled for.
“Sorry, robbery is one thing, attempting to kill is another.”
Yeah, they should just legalize robbery, along with illicit drugs.
Sigh…..
England sucks…
OK, I’ll be politically correct:
A black and a hispanic, likely an illegal alien – sorry – “undocumented Mexican immigrant.”
No surprise at all.
spoken like a true un-american fascist p!g.
thousands of americans died in WW2 fighting fascist like you. You are a disgrace.
run along jimmy.
I often wonder why people like you are so hateful. I suppose that it somehow makes you feel better about yourself that you can project your self-hatred onto others with no rational reason.
It is sad and pathetic!
Hey concerned – don’t worry about Blantant – he is just poor idiot.
Probably was abused by his puta madre!!!
hahahaha
We’re handing out the death penalty for not killing people, now?
Buster’s got a little comprehension fail. That’s what happens when you get your news from Klan meetings(see what I did there?).
Yes I did! You made a complete fool out of yourself!!!
I bet the three that got caught all have one thing in common: Their last name is “Ballmer”
They will shorten it to ‘BallMe’ in prison….
N’yuk N’yuk….good one
Two of the three arrested:

The name for 3rd teenager was not released.
The three that got away were probably Democrats.
Rick Perry You are a doosh! Rick Santorum is self defined. You guys deserve Newt. The party of Nixon talking morality. HAhahahahahahahahbawawaaahaaahahah!!!!!!!
Never was someone self-named so well.
When you don’t hit the “Reply” button on the actual post we have no idea to which post you’re referring.
I take that back. MDN fails again. I hit ‘reply’ for an in-line reponse and it didn’t work.
Considering studies have show that Dems are typically smarter than their counterparts, you’re probably correct.
Democrats SUCK….
Wetbacks SUCK too…
‘Wetbacks’ and ‘scratchbacks’ don’t commit crimes in the US?
Seriously? I’m not suggesting they are anymore evil than the rest of us, but get over yourself.
The fact that they are here IS A CRIME!!!! (why do people ignore this?)
Here’s one that murdered someone right down the road from my home
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ángel_Maturino_Reséndiz
… OTHER than the crimes related to unauthorized entry, the VAST MAJORITY of illegal aliens (wetbacks) commit very few crimes. It has been hypothesized they are too busy a) working and b) hiding to mess around. Their KIDS, on the other hand, make up for the difference.
And, I really don’t care if Resendiz and all of the other exceptions prove the rule in your back yard. They are STILL the exceptions, not the rule.
BTW: why are all the rabid right-wing comments still out there while my more moderate comment is gone? Did I make light of the wrong “contributor”?
You mean ‘why are all the moderate comments still out there and your leftist ones are gone’, don’t you? It’s all a matter of perspective.
Look, the vast majority of ANY society commit very few crimes.
Who cares what has been hypothesized?
Are you from an area with a high illegal immigrant population?
Have you ever worked around them?
Do you know any of their relatives?
I don’t know that the rate is any higher, but to claim they are too busy or scared to commit crimes is ridiculous.
How about I hypothesize that illegal on illegal crime is probably higher than white on white, but goes under-reported because of the fear of retribution or deportation? Sounds plausible. Let’s now accept that as fact….Oh, peer review….I need you….(Now come on. Please…I’ll agree with one of yours!)
Wait….could your comments be directed to those that want better border security because of all that over-hyped crime?
Sorry, I was just hypothesizing….
Stating that “the vast majority of” ANY group commit very few crimes is plain on its face. The question is not “what percentage of the group commits crimes,” it’s “what percentage of the crimes are committed by the group.” When looked at that way, things become far clearer. But I’m relatively sure that you know that.
Are you crying as you type that?
You are right – no Americans ever commit crimes and all illegal immigrants are murderers.
Wow. You are against racism, and then you automatically assume it is a ‘redneck’ that said that crap?
Do you really understand what ‘prejudiced’ means?
It applies to more than just race.
This is in Maricopa County, AZ, the dominion of Sheriff Joe.
They’ll be sleeping in tents in the desert and wearing pink underwear in no time.
More mug shots of murderer

Coincidentally, Microsoft’s flagship store at Scottsdale Fashion Square reported seeing six armed teenagers at nearby Nordstrom. “Thankfully, those kids didn’t hit our store,” said an employee. “We’ve never had anything stolen here.”
So what does M$ have worth stealing these days?
It’s much safer working in a Windows store. No huge crowds, not armed robbers.
Must be American
More likely Hindu followers of Kali. The moon was full that night, I believe
Guns are so prevalent in the US. Typical
Where guns are outlawed, only the outlaws will have guns. If you really want to be the disarmed one at that point, by all means hold onto your delusion that guns shoot people, rather than people shooting people.
Yes, it’s why we aren’t still subjects of Her Royal Majesty.
It’s also why the government is afraid of its citizens. I take it the government has nothing to fear in Britain?
Kali has six arms. Followers of Kali wear costumes with six arms. Get it? Oh, I give up. : (
Ever notice you never hear about someone robbing the Microsoft stores. I guess that kind-of like stealing garbage from the landfill.
This store is like two blocks from where I work…
Is it like really? That is likeyouknowum crazy.
From the local news they looked like little meth heads lol
I don’t know about the amount estimate in the article but if they broke one of those doors that’s close to another $50000. Just a rumor I heard…
and you believed that? 50K? Come on.
They’ll have to add attempted murder to the burglary and weapons charges.
One of the best MDN takes of all time!! I need to work on my Top 10 list! Keep it up!
A six armed teenager is a scary thing. Good thing some got caught in the web.
Ah. The “What’s in it for me”/”Gimme” generation. Getting a job and purchasing the goods like most people appears to have been just to much to ask.
Yeah right. Why can’t they be like we were, perfect in every f***ing way?
Wait… there are teenagers with six arms?
How sad it must be to be you.
I wonder when Microsoft will start bribing thieves (with concert tickets) to rob their stores too, so that they can feel that their products have such street value?
