Thief steals iPads, nothing else, from Microsoft building
The news originates from a report published yesterday by the Daily Post which claims the five iPads were stolen from the Mountain View campus sometime between Dec. 19 and Dec. 26. According to the report, the thieves took two iPad 2s and two iPad 3s, worth a total of more than $3,000. A fifth iPad was described as being an iPad 4, or the current version of the Apple tablet that dropped the numerical naming scheme.
The fact that Microsoft owns iPads isn't surprising, since the company makes software for the Apple tablet, but the fact that there were no Microsoft products stolen when there was surely plenty of expensive equipment made by the company around is.
Whether or not the story is true remains to be seen, but if it is fake, it's a well-made fake. The officer listed in the story, for instance, is Sgt. Sean Thompson, who is listed as the public information officer on the Mountain View Police Department's website. The report's author, Angela Ruggiero, is also listed on the newspaper's website.

LGDX_lepou Just to clarify the kind of Ipad:
Ipad 1
Ipad 2
Ipad 3
Ipad 4 (Ipad with retina display)
Ipad Mini (It`s apart)
The "iPad 3" also has the retina display. It was called the first iPad that didn't have the number scheme.

I'm sure the thief probably played himself off as an employee.
You can't just walk around in there free reign. Either that, or their security is just...awful.
