Related: About this forumGeniuses Smashing BMW X-5 Into Apple Store To Rob It
Police have said that the vehicle was reportedly driven into the store by 22-year-old Equonne R. Howard, after which a passenger quickly stole iPhones and iPods.
Police allege that Howard popped two of the tires on the BMW. After the burglary took place, he reportedly changed one tire near the store, while the other flat was allegedly addressed with a stolen can of Fix-A-Flat from a nearby 7-11.
Howard, however, reportedly failed to repair the flat tires on his vehicle, and the BMW was abandoned about a mile from the Temecula Apple Store.
The suspect was apprehended by the Riverside Sheriff's Office when he returned to the scene of the crime in an apparent effort to retrieve the front license plate that came off his vehicle.

Trashing an over-priced car to get a few over-priced bobbles. Yeah, that makes sense.

At least that would be a few hundred thou blown down the drain. For an iPhone?
Doesn't even qualify for a Darwin Award. Just plain stupidity.
