An increase in thefts, iPhone, iPad, News reason for the high index of New York City crime
Today, New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg said on his weekly radio show
that there has been an overall increase in the city due to theft of
Apple products, according to The New York Times. There were 3,484 more major crimes in 2012 than a year prior, but Apple product thefts alone were 3,890 greater than in 2011.
Bloomberg said that thieves in New York prefer Apple products and
notes that mobile devices from Apple’s competition, such as Samsung,
were not included in the numbers. Bloomberg’s press secretary, Marc La
Vorgna, also said New York’s overall crime figure saw an increase due to
Apple products: “If you just took away the jump in Apple, we’d be down
for the year,” he said.
The mayor suggested that citizens should keep their Apple products in a pocking, making the device harder to steal.
