Mission: Implausible

03/07/10 12:07

Move over, Ethan Hunt -- a group of thieves operating with what authorities call “a high level of sophistication” invaded a New Jersey Best Buy and made off with an armload of high-tech booty -- and by that we don’t mean iJustine.

The team entered the Electronics Stuporstore™ by cutting a hole in the roof and dropping down in an area where security cameras were apparently blocked by an oversize banner advertising the type of marginal gizmos that is the store’s normal specialty. But the team’s sophistication apparently extended to their choice of loot -- they bypassed the rows of Dell Perspirons and made off with 20 MacBooks instead. We’re not the type to encourage larceny, but it is somewhat comforting to know this particular criminal enterprise knows how to Think Different.

One investigator called the heist “the most productive ten minutes anyone has ever spent inside a Best Buy.”
