Couldn't they trace the serial number on the returned box, match that up to the iTunes account used to activate the missing iPad, and nail the perps that way?
Not a bad Idea. However it is done, these perps MUST be brought to justice. This was a planned and executed THEFT. Thieving hurts everyone. People who steal objects or money should be punished in direct relationship to what they steal.
And besides...this is an Apple product. These perps have no idea what a community they have sullied, but they do know which quality product to target. I hope they're caught and jailed for at least 1 month per item scammed.
If someone steals from me and it is within my power to contain or stop them, I WILL. (call me a Wallmart wannabe if you must, BUT STEALING IS WRONG!)
well... Asimo and SIRI combined might give us a real head-start to human interfacing autonomous robots. It would have to do more than follow you around and perform phone tricks and web searches on command, but as a personal assistant??????....
Apple should outright BUY honda. Damn I really don't want to have to buy Apple stock at it's present value, but I've always indicated to my children that if you broad-buy robotic company stock, you'll eventually wind up millionaires.
1Password blows them all away for functionality. It not only remembers passwords, but can generate them as well. It keeps "identities" too, for those of us with multiple personalities. see==> http://agilewebsolutions.com/products/1Password

Personally, I think Joel Splosky has a lot to offer on this topic. see ===> http://discuss.joelonsoftware.com/?joel
Jack L Chalker is famous for this. In fact he has scenarios where the bad-old-guy is forced into a sex change to please his former slaves!
