LA $1.2M iPod heist, Boston iPod thefts
LAPD Commercial Crimes Division detectives are looking into last Wednesday's multi-million dollar heist involving iPods. Authorities say one of the suspects involved entered a freight forwarding business at the eleven-hundred block of La Cienega and somehow used fraudulent means to take over the delivery of over 12,000 iPods. Investigators are seeking the public's help in identifying the suspect who was caught stealing the cargo on a surveillance camera. The value of the stolen MP3s is estimated at just over $2.5 million. Meanwhile, The Boston Globe says Apple's portable music players are so popular, and so valuable, that muggers have taken to "jacking up anybody wearing those distinctive white headphones."
