That was so helpful of the Apple staff team to get their customers out of the way so those fine young gentlemen could steal all their stuff.
I love how most of the shoppers are completely unaware of what is actually happening or the fact that they now live in a Third World country.
You've got to appreciate the one actual man who asked if they should be stopped, only to be pooh-poohed by an employee.
Police currently have no suspects in custody and no leads.
From the Palo Alto Weekly:
Two people who entered the Apple store in downtown Palo Alto on Nov. 25 during a busy Black Friday sales event made off with an estimated $35,000 in merchandise, Palo Alto police said.
...
A store employee heard one of the thieves make a general statement to the crowd of shoppers of physical violence toward anyone who attempted to stop them. The threat elevates the crime from a burglary shoplift to a robbery, Reifschneider said. No weapons were seen and no one was injured.
The duo fled in a red Mazda3 hatchback and were last seen by a security guard traveling north on U.S. Highway 101.
Police haven't made any arrests and have limited suspect information. Both were Black males in their late teens or early 20s.
