Logic alone would have told the authorities that it had to be an inside job even if the man hadn't been poking round and asking questions. I mean the thieves brought a truck (presumably a semi not a regular pickup) to the heist. And got away with 2 pallets worth of the devices. Which would beg the question of 'how did they know that the shipment was there?' I mean there is a difference between stealing a camera out of someones luggage and stealing two pallets of electronic devices. Both are illegal, but the one requires a degree of planning that the other doesn't I would think. I imagine they would still have caught up to the man eventually, but if he had chosen an accomplice that knew how to run a fork lift rather than asking questions on their operation of his co-workers just before the heist he might have been free for a little bit longer. Obviously he's no criminal mastermind.

Criminal masterminds are in short supply these days. No Moriarties to be found, just a bunch of cowardly, superstitious types...

A fair number of iPxxxx thefts are occurring on mass transit. The thief finds someone with device X sitting by the door. They wait for the doors to open, grab the item from the person, and sprint out into the crowd.

At least she got something more than just a hunk of wood.
