Thieves steal 20 laptops from Best Buy w/o touching the floor or setting off alarms

Wow... it sounds like something out of a movie, they just needed to seal off their hole so it would be impossible for the detectives to find out how they got in.

Thats awesome... except for the stealing part. It would be funny if they returned them and said it was all just a joke.

Best Buy and many other big box stores operate on consignment. That is, they do not own the inventory in their stores. The manufacturers rent shelf space from Best Buy, and when items are sold, Best Buy receives a commission/fee from the manufacturer.

Manufacturers have insurance. :mellow:

Well if it went down to an Insurance issue then Best Buy is at fault, since the product was stolen while in their possession. I'm pretty sure Best Buy is going to have to reimburse for the theft.
