A would-be thief broke into a Tempe, Arizona tech company around 2 a.m. on October 4th, stealing dozens of empty Mac Mini boxes while leaving the actual computers untouched. Security footage captured the suspect, wearing a plaid shirt and black baseball cap, shattering a window near University Drive and State Route 143. He never fully entered the building, instead shoving armfuls of boxes out through the blinds. Employee Curran Rose discovered the break-in the next morning. “Our computers were right there in front of them. They just stole the boxes instead. Really low IQ,” Rose said. The business owner is offering a $1,500 reward for information leading to an arrest. Story URL
