First-hand Report of Texas Apple Store Robbery


Photos by cforand1293

User cforand1293 provides a first-hand account of a robbery at Apple's Knox Street retail store in Highland Park, Texas, north of downtown Dallas.

The robbery reportedly took place Friday evening before the store's 9pm closing time, as men entered the store and took iPhones from the front display table (pictured). cforand1293 described seeing the robbery while he was in the store with his wife and children, saying that Apple's employees did not attempt to stop the robbery. There were apparently no injuries.

The Sagemore Apple retail store was the scene of a daring smash-and-grab burglary in September 2009.

I was just in the Apple store in Dallas on Knox street that was robbed. Had my family in the store and all of the sudden alarms started going off and I turned to see guys running out of the store. Walked up front and the took 8 laptops in seconds sorry was iphones not laptops. I took pics of the counter they took them from, all the apple employes came up front, but no one made an attempt to do anything.

that's cause they're not allowed, and they risk losing their job (and no, i mean you will get fired probably, not that you'll be dead).

you're not supposed to chase a thief anywhere. let them run, don't try to be a hero.

Is that an Apple Policy or a law?

Wait, is that really true? Why would you risk losing your job over trying to do anything? Is it because Apple doesn't want to be held liable for anything that may happen to said person (even though they don't require the person to do anything, which would make it harder to hold them liable)?

It's common sense. There are professionals collectively called "law enforcement" that catch criminals.
