Thwarting a iPod jacking...

Yesterday I was on the subway headed to gathering downtown with a friend and had to take the 1 line. It was so hot that day and the subway was close to unbearable.


We squeezed on to a subway car and held on as good as we could with how slam packed it was. At the next stop a woman was trying to get out of her seat and around me. As I looked down at her I saw a guys hands trying to pull my iPod out of my bag. I of course quickly pulled my bag away and he hurried out of the subway car with the crowd.


I have been in NY for over 3 years and never had that happen. It has been in the same place on my bag since I moved here. The funniest part about it is the iPod is about 4 years old and probably as very little value.


I have been reading about a possible iPod software change that will prevent an iPod from charging if not paired with its owners iTunes. I think this is a great idea. It will only take a few stolen iPods for these jack asses to realize they are wasting their time...
