Sounds like an ideal situation for automation of sorting.

As well, 1TB > 512 > 256 no matter what anyone says.

128GB is worthless.

Contact Apple and see if they can search for it based on the IMEI or serial number. I believe that it'll check in to the activation server and might be trackable.

That’s what I’m thinking, especially since it was re-taped. I ordered via Verizon and in store today I was told they use that brown masking tape for packages, and clear tape means it was opened and re-sealed outside of the Verizon warehouse. My shipping box had clear tape on it. So maybe at some processing center or something like that, it was stolen. I guess I’ll never know.

You repetitively clone the phone and button mash programmatically. When the timeout is too large, wipe and reclone. Have parallel targets. This is how the Israeli company does it, the contractor the FBI used to crack the San Bernardino shooters’ iPhones.

The drivers are more closely tied to the deliveries as well. But I have seen drivers drop a package, take a picture of the delivery, then take the package and walk away. With all the cameras, though, it’s getting tougher. What’s needed is a secure handoff, with no way for the packages to be stolen.
