That's really disappointing to me, an apple employee, that he works for the same man i do lol. He is working in a new store, and it seems rather unlikely that he can just walk out with a Mac that he hasn't paid for with all of the cameras there are, especially with him being a floor employee and not back of house, or in the back with the inventory. however he could have bought it with the discount we have and is reselling, which apple would like to know about if he is.

I just tried this, I called Apple Corporate requesting a person from their Loss Prevention Department, they gave me the run around and said they could only give me the phone number if I was Law Enforement...their loss I guess (pun intended)

You guys chasing this scumbag better be quick. In an earlier thread BJ/Jonothan stated that he was headed back to Harlem this summer. and if he graduated Sunday, he may be gone by now. An aside, the New York 3rd street address, is that in Harlem?
I think if you take down Jonothan, and take him down hard, then he'll turn on Billy...if there is a Billy J. you are close enough to this one, and who knows that the whole Posse isn't involved.
Scamming several folks at a time would make a nice wage for college students while in college.
Another thing, Has anyone thought that maybe one of this Posse works for DHL??
Sorry I'm just an old retired CAD designer, but just had these thoughts.

First of all the fact that he works in the floor is not a negative, but a positive thing if he is a theif. Picture this; He has his buddy come in and act like a customer, he shows him the new Air Book, goes in the back and pulls one, he also sells his friend $100.00 worth of misc. accesorries to go along with it. Once they are at the checkout he rings him up for all the accessories but does not scan the Air Book, his friend is able to just walk out the front door with the product in an Apple bag. He just scored a $1800 Air Book for $100.00It does not get any easier than that does it?
if he doesnt scan the mac book air -- it will ring as he walks out..
so how do you figure what you stated above by just walking out and it not ringing or it showing up on the receipt?

Best Buy
Maybe I missed it but, did any of you locals go to the Best Buy and try to ID anyone from the group of friends in the pic from like 1000000 posts ago? The one where they are all sitting around the couch?
Also if you know their names, has anyone called to check if they work/worked at the Best Buy? Probably in the install department. There has to be a physical connection to that store. Maybe if there are apartments/houses across the road or around the corner, one of the friends lives there? There has got to be a better reason for the pics coming from the Best Buy than just it was a good location.
Do we know for sure that Billy and Jonathan aren't the same person yet?
Maybe the dad is in on it and knows that Jonathan is Billy's alias. I mean let's face it, as crazy as this kid is, we know he has probably been in a lot of trouble before and maybe is using an alias. Maybe even a legal name change?
I don't know. I gotta get back to work. Did anyone mention how awesome you guys are? Right.

Someone should post under their NORMAL userID from the store, just to reassure it's not one of the scammers trying to throw us off.
So disrespect to the person who did the above test, if in fact, it is legit. Just trying to cover all bases, as we KNOW they are following this thread.

apple doesn't use those security devices. thats how it wouldn't ring. as for the pretending to scan it thing goes, it's possible, so long as people don't notice. idk if you've noticed but apple has liek 20 people on the floor at all times, and trying that kind of stuff, especially at the register where cameras a pointed at, it would be tricky, but if done one an easy pay, it's likely that that could have happened.
