This article discusses a series of crimes related to Apple products in recent weeks. There have been several reports of MacBook thefts from Apple Stores in Southern California, with four incidents happening in December alone. In one case, a thief used a fake ID and QR code to intercept a 16-inch MacBook Pro that had been ordered by another customer.

Additionally, AirPods were involved as evidence in two separate crime cases - leading police to recover stolen tools from a car dealership and resulting in the arrest of two men who were suspects in multiple vehicle thefts.

Other crimes mentioned include UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson's alleged killer referencing Apple in his manifesto, a man accused of hitting a cop car found with dozens of MacBook Airs and iPad Pros, and an Ohio law banning tracking others using AirTags or similar devices.

Finally, several iPhone theft cases in India are reported, along with news about a debunked TikTok hoax claiming hackers can steal credit card information via AirDrop.
