The AP claims: iPod blamed for spike in subway crime
The iPod craze has spawned a crime wave in city subways.Apparently cell phones are to blame too.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.
Cell phone thefts have more than doubled to 165 from 82 last year.Hat tip to reader Mike Alexander.The thefts fueled a 20 percent spike in robberies last month on the subway, officials said.
