Apple stores had two things the thieves needed: High value merchandise that can be fences for a good return, and a very convenient checkout process. You don't even need to go to a register in most stores, and the employee is more concerned about putting a "paid for" sticker on the box than looking at the card they quickly swipe on their handheld terminal.
