Life in plastic isn’t so fantastic for a pair of iPad thieves named Barbie and Ken.

The crimes took place in Denver, where a woman named Barbie Alvarado is accused of answering ads on Craigslist for iPads then stealing them with the help of an accomplice named Ken.


The real-life Barbie, 25, would feign interest in the magical devices, then make a snatch-and-grab (“I’m taking your toys and going home?”).

She would speed off in a car with her accomplice, Ken Sigala, 27. Police believe the pair may have committed the three copycat crimes in April and June.

Ken was busted after trying to pawn one of the iPads.

The his-n-hers consequences: Ken faces a felony charge of providing false information to a pawn broker, Barbie must go before the judge on felony robbery and theft charges.
