iPods Hit the Crime Scene

Wow, iPods could be the cause of recent crime waves!

These popular little gadgets are quite valuable and easy to resell. Not to mention, they’re easy to steal from people who are quite absorbed in their music and oblivious to their surroundings.

I did come up with two solutions. If Apple would drop the price, then they wouldn’t be worth stealing.. :) Or, there could be some sort of anti-thief mechanism built into the ipod. Maybe a fingerprint reader, or lojack for iPods.
