iPod Mugger Mania

06 Mar.

The iPod series by Apple now may now be a muggers best friend, a US-based report says iPods may put you at a greater risk of “getting mugged”.

During the study, some interesting facts were discovered such as: At Spring in 2004, Apple had sold 3.7 million iPods, and by the end of ‘05 more then 42.3 million! And then by the end of 2006 more then 90 million had been sold.

The people conducting the study concluded that the iPods are crime creating, for starters they contain no anti-theft protection, once someone takes them they can continue using it freely as no subscription or anything is required and lastly people may just steal them for the good looks, not to necessarily sell them to others cheap.

All you can really do though is either leave your iPod at home, or be very careful.
