iPad Mini Heist

How many iPads do you need?!!!  Who the heck does that?


It's like something straight out of Goodfellas.
Two thieves skirted security at JFK International Airport and got away with part of a cargo shipment of Apple's (AAPL) iPad minis worth $1.5 million, according to a report from the New York Post.
The crooks pulled off the heist late Monday night, just before midnight, and used one of the airport's forklifts to lift the heavy shipment of iPad minis, which were being stored in a cargo building, into their get-away truck, according to the report.
