Who wants to snatch a gold chain off of necks anymore? I spoke to one jewish guy who owned a shop in midwood aswell as a pakistani, both men said they will pay me if I find an iphone and trade it in with them for cash. Iphones are worth 200 dollars if taken to a pawnshop. Many mac products have a high resale value. Even the aging 3gs might be worth somewhere on between 50 to a 100 bucks.

Those 2 older women did not know that other woman. This lady hands her baby over and asks them to watch him so she could run out to the car for something. I don't know what it was, nor do I care. That baby would be in the stroller and we're BOTH going to the car. I'm sorry, just because these are 2 older women, how does that alone make them trustworthy?
Honestly, though, were I a scumbag, I'd have little trouble figuring out how to sell a hot I-phone, but no idea how to go about selling a baby. It's not nearly as easy as it looks on paper.

Wow, so they're seriously not interested in off-brand electronics? What, even the thugs won't get out of bed for less than $200? I find this so strange. I had a factory-issue stereo stolen from a 5-year-old Ford Taurus once...

Who hates them? Not me. Hipsters and yuppies are the fastest crime targets in the city. Who's going to get robbed more likely Tony with a goatee or Noah with a beard? In Brooklyn I'm the gentry areas Hipsters and yuppies are always victimized for idevices and other Mac crap. Call me when any Microsoft device besides an xbox that has a high resale value.

Very high concentrations of theft in these areas for sure. Dense population with many targets in one area make sense they get hit a lot.

Music is best to listen in your own home from a 80's early 90's TECHNICS stereo.
This is exactly why I do not own crazy expensive gadgets. I have my parents old 1992 TV in my apartment and a crappy old PC that I had 10 years ago in college. If someone wants to rob my apartment, I think they would get here abd just be incredibly disappointed. No one wants my old pieces of crap lol.
