While nickel-and-dime crooks continue to partake in what’s been labeled "Apple Picking"—the art of targeting and stealing specific i-devices in public—a number of elite thieves are already planning the next big Apple heist. Last week’s controversial incident at JFK Airport, where nearly $2 million worth of iPad Mini devices were stolen from a cargo building, serves as proof. The robbery practically played out like a mafia film (take a lucky guess which one) and was obviously inspired by previously successful Apple burglaries. From retail break-ins to airport hanger stick-ups, these are the 10 Biggest Apple Heists Ever.
