GoodFellas Style Heist for iPads

According to the NY POST, a pair of thieves committed a robbery reminiscent of the Lufthansa heist depicted in the movie GoodFellas. Interestingly enough, this heist took place in the same building as the 1978 crime.
Late Monday night, the criminals pulled up in a trailer and gained access to the cargo area. They used  an airport forklift to load two pallets of iPad mini's, before they were spotted. The total take is estimated to be $1.5 Million, which is significantly smaller than the 1978 robbery.
But the consumer demand for Apple products has caught the attention of criminals small and larger. This crime goes beyond an individual robbery (which is scary enough), but now we are seeing more large scale / organized schemes to steal Apple products.
A comprehensive plan needs to be created to help protect consumers from having their smartphones stolen and punishments for criminals must carry stiff penalties.
