Thief targets Target iPods

iPodTarget.jpgIn news that could be funny in a way but kind of suck for the victims, there’s a dude in North Miami Beach going around Target stores stealing iPods. But he’s not a conventional thief: he’s got a few tricks up his sleeve.
Police in North Miami Beach are looking for a man they say likes to pose as a Target employee while stealing pricey iPods, and the man allegedly knows so much about the store, he’s even helped customers who thought he was a real employee.
The news story is more than a week old, but no word yet on whether the guy’s been caught or not. His technique is proving to be quite efficient, too: he’s stolen about $17,000 worth of iPods.

I guess we just can’t trust anyone anymore.
