Thieves Broke Into Microsoft Office And Stole iPads

Yesterday, it was reported that thieves broke into the Microsoft's campus in Mountain View on The 19th and 26th of December 2012.
This incident was reported to the police on wednesday 3rd 2013.
According to the info, 2 iPad 2, 2 iPad 3 and 1 iPad 4 (iPad with retina display as its called) was stolen from Microsoft's office. The worth of this is estimated to be about $3,000.
Although what comes to my mind is that why did it take so much time for a theft committed last year to just be reported 1 week later.
Whatever it is, the thieves must really love Apple products over Microsoft products.
