Theft Deterrent
Thursday, 2005 March 31 - 9:31 pm
A few recent news stories have come together to give me a brilliant idea.

A few days ago, there was an article about how the distinctive white earphones for the iPod made people mugging targets on New York subways. (There was a similar article from London months ago). The earphones signify that you have an expensive piece of electronic equipment, AND you're oblivious to the sound of muggers coming up behind you. You are a perfect target!

And then today I read this:

SAN DIEGO (AP) - The hunt is on for a turd burglar. Police in San Diego are searching for a gunman who swiped a bag of poop from a woman out walking her dog.

The woman told police that she was out walking her dog, Misty, on Monday night when a man in his 20s ran up behind her and grabbed the bag she was holding.

When the gunman discovered what was in it, he threw it down in disgust, pointed his gun at the 32-year-old woman and demanded money, San Diego police detective Gary Hassen said.

He then aimed his .22-caliber semiautomatic at Misty and pulled the trigger twice but the gun didn't fire, Hassen said.

The robber ran to a waiting small, silver car and fled the scene, police said.


First of all, I have to laugh that the dog's name is "Misty", because of what "Mist" means in German.

Anyway, I have a new product idea. It's a fake iPod with poop stuffed inside. If someone tries to mug you for your real iPod, you slip him the fake one, and you run away laughing about how he just mugged you for poop.

Just $19.99! Quantities are limited because I can only produce so much poop at a time.
