I think scenario one is more probable.

Nah, the security guard was working the entire mall. All they did was wait until he checked that store and went in while he was making his rounds. Or they waited until he went to take a piss or something. It's classic robbery tactics that have been used since the dawn of time.

I'm not that impressed, though it is way better than your standard smash and grab. I find it very funny that the news guy made mention TWICE about the efficiency in which they smashed the window.

The reporter made is sound like they did this amazing thing. They tossed a brick at glass, it broke and they ran in. They must have had someone mastermind that one. I would check Mensa.

Then they ran in and grabbed as many laptops as possible and ran back out. The store wasn't cleaned out. What about the Ipods? Iphones? Shit...what about the laptops still in boxes with power cords?

Shit there were five of them, they should have been in and out in 20. That reporter needs to get out more.

They did mention Ipods and Iphones as well, but it's still not as amazing as it was presented... slow day in the news I guess.

Sounds like you are experienced.

Never understood why places have so much glass, let alone a glass door?
