Apple Knows Who Stole Your iPod
In my case, my ipod was stolen from my locked car parked in front of my house in the middle of the night. It was a 2nd Gen. Nano; probably $40 bucks on craigslist. That's not the issue. The issue is that somebody who breaks into a car in the middle of the night and gets away with it is likely to have done it before and to do it again. Smash and grab theft from cars is amateur. Need proof? I had a brand new pair of $100 sunglasses sitting right next to the ipod, but because they were in a black cloth bag, they were over-looked. I understand the argument against carelessness. You learn your lesson and move on. Hopefully your more careful next time. What about me? Was I careless to park my car in front of my house with something of any value in it? Maybe, but is that really the kind of world you want to live in if it can be easily corrected and eventually discouraged? It is not all the time that such a simple solution is available to a particular type of crime. Would it be better if I bought a silent car alarm, and was now almost hoping for another break-in so I could walk outside with my paint-ball gun and stun baton? With Apples position on this issue, what other choice do I have?— December 26, 2009 1:47 a.m.
