New York Mayor Bloomberg blames Apple for increase in Crime Rate
New York Mayor Michael R. Bloomberg blames Apple for increase in crime rate.
From The New York Times:
Major crime in New York City inched up this year, and Mayor Michael R. Bloomberg on Friday fingered the culprit: too many iPhones and iPads were being swiped.
A rise in thefts of shiny Apple products accounted for the slight increase in the city’s annual crime index, a statistic that covers a number of felonies, including murder, grand larceny and robbery, Mr. Bloomberg said on Friday morning during his weekly radio show.
Apple competitors should jump on this right away.
“Don’t want to get mugged? Don’t buy Apple products.”
That will go well.
