This is getting a little ridiculous…According to The Brooklyn Paper, another six iPhone muggings were reported in Fort Greene and Clinton Hill alone last week, including one that was snatched by a bicyclist and another that involved a victim getting punched in the face.

  1. If all stolen devices were rendered permanently inoperable by the phone companies this would stop immediately. Instead the phone co’s hope that a new account will be set up using the stolen phone and the original owner will replace theirs, so business will improve.

    But corporations are people too – so it’s all good, right?

  2. So let me get this straight……morons stealing iphones gets a front page blog post, while a serial rapist spanning months eluding a 72nd precinct that can’t tie their own shoes gets a byline in the the daily links.

    You stay classy Brownstoner.
