If you go to NYC, guard your iPhone carefully:

The NYPD has released statistics that imply, basically, that Apple product theft makes up 14 percent of all reported crime in the city. It’s absurd and sad and sort of predictable but mostly just the sad and absurd.

Apple products were reported stolen in NYC 11,447 times this year, from January 1 to September 23. That number is 40 percent higher than last year’s for the same period. It contrasts to a 4 percent rise in overall crime, and represents about 14 percent of the overall figure, which is around 79,000.
