London Thugs Taken with iPods

First New York City and now London. News24.com quotes London 'bobbies' (aka police) as attributing the recent uptick in street robbery to two things: iPods, and mobile phones.

Both are small gadgets that are worth a lot of cash, and highly sought after, so I suppose it makes sense. Sir Ian Blair, Briton's top cop, says, 'They have different coloured leads. It is very obvious when someone is wearing an iPod. That is what is fuelling this.'

If you are an iPod toting Londoner you might want to consider buying some new head phones, or carrying some mace around with you.
