Apple Upgrading Retail Stores to Fend Off Burglars

Apple is temporarily closing a number of retail stores to beef up on security, according to several sources.

Apple has had quite a bit of trouble with some retail stores getting vandalized and robbed, mainly because it was easy for burglars to smash through the glass entrance and walk away with Macs, iPhones, and iPads worth tens of thousands of dollars.

Most of the thieves eventually get caught, but the merchandise is not always recovered, and the bottom line usually stings worse than the expenses Apple would incur in beefing up on security.
