At Apple Stores, the display computers and phones may be locked down to tables, but the extra devices in the back aren’t.<\/p>\n

And as it turns out, an enterprising thief needs only a blue shirt and a similarly attired partner to walk off with thousands of dollars in Apple products.<\/p>\n

That’s exactly what happened in Manhattan last week when a thief posing as a one of the familiar-looking Apple Store staffers purloined 19 iPhones – worth $16,130 – from the SoHo Apple Store.<\/p>\n

Police said the thief “dressed similarly” to store employees – who usually wear blue T-shirts imprinted with an Apple logo – and walked right into an electronics repair room at about 5:30 p.m. on June 1.<\/p>\n

The man grabbed 19 iPhones from a drawer inside the room, worth a total of $16,130, then handed them over to another thief. That man hid the phones under his shirt, and the pair walked out of the store.<\/p>\n

To recap: You don’t need to be a genius to rob the Apple Store, but it helps if you dress like one<\/a>.<\/p>\n
