Over the weekend a very big disaster for Apple occurred, which was completely a humanized one. The very popular & one of the very expensive latest gadgets, Apple’s iPhones were stolen from a huge warehouse in Williebroek, a Dutch-speaking municipality in the Belgian province of Antwerp. The roof of the warehouse was cut neatly and about 3000 to 4000 brand new iPhones were picked stolen!!
This crime is believed to be the largest theft as it involves the latest & one of the most expensive high-end luxury mobiles, the iPhone of Apple. The iPhones that were stored in the warehouse were supposed to be shipped by Mobistar, Apple’s exclusive Belgian Career. Mobistar had been having trouble meeting the huge demand for the most popular iPhones, but their supplier had been contacted & a new shipment would arrive well in time for the holidays.
As per them they have serial numbers of the stolen iPhones, which have been blocked & so the iPhones that are stolen are of no use. Though, there is a problem that as Belgian is one of the only three countries in Europe that sells iPhones without a SIM-Lock, which will not prohibit the thieves from fencing them for use on another carrier’s network.
This theft is the largest theft as it involves a very huge amount of loss of about $3 Millions!!
Apple is trying to track the stolen iPhones through different security, though it can be admitted that the loss has been already on its way.
