$1.5 MILLION in iPad Minis stolen at JFK International Airport.
Ooph! A serious amount of iPad Minis were tots ninja’d from JFK International Airport. Some enterprising motherfuckers managed to gank 3,600 units of that hot little tech fetish, and are still at large. Make that guap, boys and girls.

It’s a sad reality — expensive consumer electronics products make a great target for theft. That said, iPad thefts are not usually on the scale of what happened at New York’s JFK International Airport this past Monday. According to the New York Post, a well-coordinated heist led to the theft of some $1.5 million worth of iPad minis. The criminals made off with two pallets of iPads before being confronted by an airport worker, and though they left three more pallets behind, that still represents about 3,600 iPad minis. As of last night, the culprits were still at large, though there was some suspicion that the job was aided by someone on the inside — the Post’s sources believe that someone let the crooks in and out of the area where the iPads were being kept. If you have a hard time picking up Apple’s latest tablet around New York City, these thieves should draw at least a little of your ire.
