Apple stores, which recently started reopening across the United States after months of closures due to the global pandemic, reported vandalism and theft at several locations, including in New York, Philadelphia and Washington, DC during recent protests.

The Apple logo is displayed at the Apple store in the Brooklyn borough of New York, Thursday, Jan. 3, 2019. Apple is sending a clear message to people who've stolen iPhones from its stores: You're "being tracked."

Screenshots of Apple's warning message started to pop up on sites such as Twitter and Reddit earlier this week amid global protests following the death of George Floyd.

Hope they catch the thief’s. to protest is one thing but there is no reason to engage in theft which is a criminal offence

Why advertise that? Just arrest the assholes who stole them.

But aren’t they supportive of the riots, erm, protests? What kind of liberal company are they!

...but they won't do SHIT when one of their Customer's Phones is stolen. 👎 Apple are COVIDIOTS

Protests or looting? I get those two mixed up

I like that. Great od job Apple! 👏👏

They’ll soon see just how much they like them apples. 🍎🚔

Why the hell would you warn the criminals to get rid of the evidence?

Hopefully they’re fully prosecuted when caught.

Our technicians have been working around the clock to solve problems such as this.

Protests don’t involve looting.

Looks good on thoughts that stole the iPhones

Thats the first thing i thought when everyone was running away with them

So CTV publishes this and tells them? Since Antifa is a terrorist group now, isn't CTV kind of assisting the enemies of the U.S?

Should not have made this public? Send the cops idiots! Or are you going to wait until the peaceful protesters are done with them.

Awesome use CCTV to track all the other rats as well

Lol. “Locked on. Sending the idrone. Retrieval itaser engaged. Isaw has removed phone. Iphone retrieved.”

mini_bubbly Be very suspicious of that guy selling one to you for $300! 😂

The idea that silicon valley is some kind of liberal egalitarian paradise is a myth. Big tech companies are as vicious and reactionary as they come.

Apple is 2 years a head of the game. Looters deserve this.

Apple tracks (or certainly can track) all their phones at any time. All cellphones can be tracked. This isn't news

Imagine what Huawei would be doing if you'd stolen their phones. . .

6 Atlanta officers charged after students pulled from carSix Atlanta police officers have been charged after a dramatic video showed authorities pulling two young people from a car during protests over the death of George Floyd, a prosecutor said Tuesday. Good. The cops ignored the car in front of them w white ppl. They broke the driver's window and tased him repeatedly. They opened the passenger door and repeatedly pepper sprayed the girl. They were stopped stuck in traffic. Those office need to go to jail. BlackLivesMatter Finally some justice. Finally we are seeing that police officers harming protestors are being held accountable for their disgusting actions. This is just the beginning. BlackLivesMatter This is what needs to happen every time a cop abuses their power. This is justice. This is what the people want, until then.. the looting and rioting and protesting won’t stop.
