iPod muggings

We feel like we've heard this before, but police in Britain are warning iPod owners there that wearing the white headphones included with the iPod makes them a target for muggings. It shouldn't be too big of a deal to just buy new headphones (especially since the ones you get for free with the iPod aren't that hot anyway), but what's really bizarre is Apple's response to all of this, with a spokesman claming that some iPod fans would "rather be robbed" than use headphones that were less cool.
