"Oh, the places you'll go", said Dr Seuss, and he certainly meant the meandering ways your life is going to develop until you reach that point when you break into a Best Buy storage closet on a sunny afternoon to steal 17 phones worth $14,000.
According to the NYPD, the incident happened around 2pm at the Northern Blvd. store, and its Crime Stoppers division that gives up to $2500 for information leading to a suspect's apprehension, even released the surveillance camera video showing two partners in crime making off with the loot in a sports bag.

The NYPD stated the obvious by saying that one of the suspects is male, between 25 and 35 years old, wearing a white T-shirt and what seems to be black jeans. His accomplice looks to be a female in the same age bracket, with long blond tresses, green hat, and a dark jacket.
Well, at least the handsets weren't all flagships, as every self-respecting tech fan knows that a true high-end phone should command at least $999 these days.
