    The Summit Sierra Apple Store in Reno, NV was burglarized early Sunday morning. The thieves smashed a window with a large rock and took off with $7000 worth of unspecified computers and iPods. The store's surveillance cameras caught the act on tape, but the police are still looking for the two suspects - said to be Caucasian or Asian males in their teens or early twenties. Police are asking anyone with info to call the anonymous tips line at 775-322-4900.The Summit Sierra store is located right next to a JCrew. No word on whether the punks also stole a bunch of khakis and polo shirts...
