Attention NYC Muggers Looking to Lift an iPod

Just thought the criminals among you might like to know that someone has made a convenient map for you:


Invasion of the iPod listeners—tuaw: Khoi Winh, a resident of New York City, has noticed the same phenomenon in his fair city and unlike me he did something about it. He printed out a map of his walk from his home to work and marked the map with a red dot each time he saw an iPod listener. A little over 13 blocks later he saw 32 iPods. Not too shabby.

32 opportunities to swipe an iPod conveniently on your way home! And two of the largest clusters are right around Union Square and Madison Square Park, so you can easily get bonus points for rolling one of the rummies passed out on the park benches!

(For some reason, this was the first thing that popped in my head when I read this story. Thought I'd share...)
