Apple introduced the optional recovery key in 2020 to protect users from online hackers. Users who turn on the recovery key, a unique 28-digit code, must provide it when they want to reset their Apple ID password.

Thieves cut through the wall of a coffee shop to get to an Apple store, bypassing the alarms in the process.
I wrote about this kind of thing in 2000, in Secrets and Lies (page 318):
My favorite example is a band of California art thieves that would break into people’s houses by cutting a hole in their walls with a chainsaw.
