Pranksters hijack Apple storefront in Germany

A group of pranksters posed as construction workers to plaster a giant Windows logo across the facade of a new Apple retail store in Hamburg, Tgdaily.com reported.

The store will be Apple's second in the city, and is due to open at the end of the summer. It's currently hidden behind a large black hoarding.

But last week, two young men dressed as construction workers coolly walked up, cordoned off the street, put up a ladder and installed the logo without anybody batting an eyelid.

They did make one little mistake screwing the four colored panels of the logo onto the facade: the colors appear in the wrong order.

By Friday morning, Apple workers were removing the logo without too much difficulty.

The pranksters, who call themselves the WAV collective, have posted a YouTube video of their exploit, here - it's already been viewed more than 180,000 times.
