Whatever you do, don't blame the criminals


iconThe AP claims: iPod blamed for spike in subway crime

The iPod craze has spawned a crime wave in city subways.

Police told the city transportation board on Wednesday that 50 iPods have been reported stolen on the subways so far this year, compared to none during the same period last year.

Apparently cell phones are to blame too.
Cell phone thefts have more than doubled to 165 from 82 last year.

The thefts fueled a 20 percent spike in robberies last month on the subway, officials said.
