Seattle Apple Store Loses Laptops, iPhones in Break In

· by · News

Mac laptop owners that left their computers at the University Village Apple Store in Seattle got a rude awakening on Monday: Their computers were stolen during a break in some time before the store opened for the day. Along with the Macs, several refurbished iPhones waiting to be restocked were taken, too, according to The Seattle Times.

When police arrived at the store just before 8AM on Monday, they found a hole in the ceiling in the technicianis room where the serviced laptops are stored. The room also held refurbished iPhones.

The total number of computers stolen has not been released, but the rack system designed to hold laptops before and after servicing was completely empty.
