...according to a press information I found yesterday somewhere on the web:
http://www.rcrnews.com/cgi-bin/news.pl?newsId=13884
So please be aware if somebody offers you a brand new phone - ebay and other ways of selling stolen devices are quite familiar - you might end up in a loss of your money!
Below the press information:

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.
