The Apple Store in Bordeaux was looted and robbed last Saturday night by some French protesters of the so-called yellow vest. The vandals they broke the store windows before entering the store where they literally started almost all of the exposed devices, both MacBooks, iPhone and iPads.
Although they had the decency to not completely vandalize property, The damage we caused has caused almost the entire store to find the windows covered with wood to prevent further attacks. Below we show you one of the videos that circulate on social networks where we can see the moment of the incident.

In recent weeks, we are seeing a large number of disturbances in the streets led by the so-called yellow vests, riots that not only happen in the capital but little by little they are expanding to the rest of the cities of the country, as is the case of Bordeaux.
Apple Lossless Audio CODEC (ALAC), has made no statement about the incident, an incident likely to be borne by insurance, which in turn will require the government to bear costs through an insurance pool.
This has not been the only Apple Store that has suffered the wrath of the yellow vests. Both the Apple Store of the Champs Elysees in Paris (opened a few days ago) like the Opera House have also suffered various damages in recent weeks. To avoid greater evils, Apple has fortified both stores and closes them intermittently during the riots.
The yellow vest movement was born a few weeks ago and is not linked to any political party or union. The reason was the announcement of fuel pricesHence, the yellow vest is the name with which they have been baptized, although in recent days, new demands have been added taking advantage of the commotion they are making.
