I think the problem with that is the fact that the product (ipads etc.) are located mostly in the backroom whereas jewerly are often out in display cases. It is easier for individuals to do a quick smash and grab.

And when stealing technology, there is always a risk of it being tracked via GPS

One expensive diamond ring sold even at a discount could fetch the same as 10 full priced iPads.

seems to me like insurance fraud?

how many people can afford to drop 20k on a watch these days. gotta pay the sky high mall rent somehow.

just a thought.

^ they probably just need to sell a couple of jewleries each season and they are still making good profit.

The ipads you CAN easily steal are probably the ones that are beat up demos that all say they are not for sale on the back. The ones people actually want are gonna be a lot harder to steal. Good luck selling ipads in beat up condition with no box for market value

also the volume in the apple store is always very high, so if people get hurt... they'll be in 1000x more shit
