Maxi Mini Theft


Two criminals had their own Goodfellas moment and stole $1.5 million in new iPad Minis. Henry Hill is smiling from the afterlife...

Thieves made their way into the same cargo building that was the site of the famous 1978 Lufthansa heist featured in the film, but instead of $5 million in cash and $900,000 worth of jewelry, they ogt away with 3,600 iPad Minis. The crime happened just before midnight on Monday, and the airport’s own forklifts were used to load two pallets of the tablet computers into a white tractor trailer truck, which witnesses say had the name "CEVA" painted on the side. It was only when they were challenged by an airport worker returning from dinner that the duo left without adding to their stash. Law enforcement officials believe it was an inside job and are currently questioning airport workers with polygraph tests.

So if you're looking for an inexpensive iPad for the holidays, you might find one on the streets of New York.
