Thief steals iPads, nothing else, from Microsoft building
The news originates from a report published yesterday by the Daily Post which claims the five iPads were stolen from the Mountain View campus sometime between Dec. 19 and Dec. 26. According to the report, the thieves took two iPad 2s and two iPad 3s, worth a total of more than $3,000. A fifth iPad was described as being an iPad 4, or the current version of the Apple tablet that dropped the numerical naming scheme.
The fact that Microsoft owns iPads isn't surprising, since the company makes software for the Apple tablet, but the fact that there were no Microsoft products stolen when there was surely plenty of expensive equipment made by the company around is.
Whether or not the story is true remains to be seen, but if it is fake, it's a well-made fake. The officer listed in the story, for instance, is Sgt. Sean Thompson, who is listed as the public information officer on the Mountain View Police Department's website. The report's author, Angela Ruggiero, is also listed on the newspaper's website.

He/she breaks into the Microsoft building, and just steals iPads? If it were me, I would've taken a prototype computer, or game console that had yet to be released. Anything but an employee's iPad...

Not only did he take the most ironic product in the building, he also managed to get in and get out without being seen and embarrassed a major company. What a legend.

The iPad Mini is iPad 3
No the ipad 3 is the HD resoloution screen, the mini is the ipad 4
No the HD display (retina) was the main thing of the iPad 2
