Now, nearly everyone has an expensive mobile phone with them at all times
- fixermark 11y agoAcross the board, I'd be willing to wager that portable consumer goods now tend to be locked behind closed doors. One might see an uptick in breaking-and-entering robberies, but it'd have to be a significant uptick to offset the loss from mugging being less profitable. Smartphones are a bad theft target; too traceable, since they tend to have phone-home technology built in (along with integrated GPS).
