Don't tell us the name of the firm, But just what kind of business it is. I'm really just curious more than anything.

Each elementary school was to receive thirty-six of the new machines. As we setup the new computers in each building, we packed the 8 year old Macintosh LC II computers in the shiny new Apple boxes. We used tape to seal the boxes closed for easier handling. Since Mac LC II computers with 12 inch monitors were much smaller than iMac computers, we were able to fit 2 old computers in each iMac box. We completed one of the school installations on Thursday afternoon. We left 18 boxes of old computers and a giant pile of Styrofoam stacked in the hallway near the gymnasium. That night the school had a band concert. Many of the parents commented on the large pile of new Apple Computers. On Monday, our maintenance department sent a truck over to pickup the old computers for disposal, but they were gone. All 18 boxes had been stolen during the weekend. I often wonder what the thief thought when he opened the boxes and found that each box contained two very outdated computers. I am also surprised that the thief did not notice the heaping pile of Styrofoam that was stacked in the hallway next to the iMac boxes. Did the criminal not realize that the computer shaped foam had been removed from the new boxes? A stolen box story…
