Smartphone Theft Drops After Spread of Kill Switches

Posted by Soulskill on Wednesday February 11, 2015 @04:45AM from the stated-purposes-and-unstated-purposes dept.

alphadogg writes "Thefts involving smartphones have declined dramatically in three major cities since manufacturers began implementing 'kill switches' that allow the phones to be turned off remotely if they are stolen, authorities said on Tuesday. The number of stolen iPhones dropped by 40 percent in San Francisco and 25 percent in New York in the 12 months after Apple added a kill switch to its devices in September 2013. In London, smartphone theft dropped by half, according to an announcement by officials in the three cities.

Hard to believe such a racist comment
So you assume you know Tyyrone's race? Funny, but I never mentioned his race. So you've stereotyped an assumed race on him based on what I said about him, huh?
Remind me who the racist is again?
