The heist involved a forklift, a tractor trailer, and some lax security, according to reports.

According to the Post, it was probably an inside job. Law enforcement sources say someone let the two thieves and their truck into the airport. The crooks used a forklift owned by the airport to load a pallet of iPad Minis onto their truck. They would have loaded two more pallets onto the truck had they not been confronted by an airport worker. The iPads had just been delivered for distribution to various points around the U.S.

The robbers are still at large, but law enforcement is questioning airport security personnel. The stolen iPad Minis have not yet turned up.

It many be recalled here that hundreds of iPhones were stolen from a Brooklyn warehouse several years ago. Apple retail stores have been targeted by smash-and-grab crooks. iPods and iPhones have long been a favorite of street hoods.
