It is easier for individuals to do a quick smash and grab.

I'd actually go with the iPads haha | One expensive diamond ring sold even at a discount could fetch the same as 10 full priced iPads.

I'd actually go with the iPads haha | 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
