To Catch a Thief - The Average Electronic Gadget Thief
The Barnet Times Online reports how thieves are using high-tech equipment such as Bluetooth mobile phone technology to steal other hightech gadgets such as satellite navigation devices, PDAs, laptops, and mobile phones from cars in London, England.
As more and more consumers buy mobile electronic gadgets, more of them also carry them around in their vehicles. Busy lives means some people inevitably leaving devices such as expensive PDAs in their cars. Bluetooth technology alerts a thief when another Bluetooth device is nearby, thus saving thieves a lot of time breaking into vehicles with nothing in them. I suppose even crooks have to evolve to keep up with the times.
