Note to L.A. looters: Devices stolen from Apple Retail Stores are bricked
- Apple devices stolen from Apple Retail Stores during looting are typically bricked to prevent operability once they leave the store premises.

- The looted devices display a message stating that they have been disabled, are being tracked, and local authorities will be alerted, ensuring stolen devices are tracked and disabled remotely.
- In a recent incident, rioters looted an Apple Store in downtown Los Angeles, where some looters were reported to have become trapped inside when police arrived at the scene.
