My employer specializes in aluminum extrusions. One of our recent projects is ipod display cases with security doors. The old sliding doors were too easy to remove.

I had a FM converter ( remember those?) stolen from my car, those were hot, you could change your Am car Radio to FM!!! Funny thing was my Nikon 35mm Camera( its used a thing called film, remember those?) was in the back seat in a case just sitting there,I guess the FM converter was the target.
The bad thing was they broke my side window to get in.

IPod Blamed? What? Isn't that kind as*-backwards? Shouldn't thieves be blamed? Isn't there always something new and cool to steal? Should we have nothing new because it might be stealable?
