NEW YORK-Sony Ericcson said that 25,000 of its mobile phones were stolen from the John F. Kennedy Airport Thursday night.
“What the thieves did not know is that they were dummy display phones,” said Andrea Iraheta, spokeswoman for the company.
The phones, which were stacked next to “valuable pharmaceutical products,” were designed for promotions.
Iraheta said that had the display phones been actual handsets, the loss would be $5 million.
