The analogy Is similar, but dry Ice gives the Impression that someone quickly stole the Item and left - which any thief will logically do.

The replacement of books Is a little hard to justify. Who has books on hand In transit matching the weight of the product, In anticipation to replace It when they have no Idea beforehand of Its actual weight?

Now I’m thinking about it, you’re right, whoever is stealing has no prior knowledge of the weight to replace something inplace of the item.

Also, the weight match at the time of package drop off will be same as during delivery to apple. Incase they do carrier investigation, it doesn’t look like actually stolen instead sent wrong item.

That's pretty much what I'm referring to.
