This is an important a ouncement for Laurie, our resident NYCer, be very careful whilst listening to one of your 14iPods on the subway. It seems that there has been a ike in thefts on the subways and police officers are blaming those little white headphones as a dead give awaythat you have a small device worth stealing on your person.
When I was living in the city I wore my iPod on the subway all the time, but that was back when iPods were Mac only andnot as uber cool and trendy as they are now. Though as Elliot Aronow says, %26#8220;All the value was really in the music, thething itself was just a stupid device.%26#8221; However, keep in mind that someone stole his iPod because he left it unattendedon a table in a drugstore located in New York City. Not the smartest move, dude.
Here%26#8217 a tip from your Uncle Scott, if you%26#8217;re afraid that you might be mugged for your iPod just use differentheadphones. The would be mugger would #8217;t be able to tell if you%26#8217;re listening to an iPod or a Minidisc player (and whowants to steal those?).
