Apple influenced crime in New York

The overall crime rate in New York this year has grown for the first time in two decades, largely due to the theft of Apple devices. According to the Wall Street Journal , the number of thefts of personal electronic devices (for example, iPhone smartphones) increased by 9 percent. The overall crime rate rose by 3 percent.

According to the head of the press service of the New York police, Paul Brown , the number of thefts of Apple devices has affected the overall statistics in 2012. If this growth were not, then the overall level of the attack would continue to decline. It should be noted that the problem did not appear "suddenly", as it happens with us. American cops have long been trying to deal with the theft of devices of the Cupertine company. For example, after the release of the latest generation of the iPhone, New Yorkers were asked to register their smartphones so that in case of theft, the police could quickly track down the device.

According to Bloomberg, for the period between January 1 and September 30, 11,447 Apple products were stolen in the “big apple”. Compared to the same period in 2011, the increase was 40 percent. Police have already called Apple products "a magnet for crime." Of course, the manufacturer itself is difficult to blame for the huge popularity of its products.
