Protect your iPod from Pickpockets & Sorcerers

We all know by now that iPod theft is a major problem (in NYC at least). It was widely reported that iPod theft on the subway is on the rise (as in more than before iPods existed). The NYPD published a pamphlet to help protect us.

For the common sense-impaired:
* STAY ALERT
* KEEP YOUR iPOD OUT OF SIGHT
* DON’T STAY BY TRAIN DOORS WHEN USING ELECTRONIC DEVICES
* BE ALERT FOR PICKPOCKETS WHEN LISTENING TO MUSIC
* CHANGE THE EARPIECE COLOR WHEN RIDING IN PUBLIC

And for those traveling with their iPods through Middle Earth (no subways there – just big swords), you’ll need THIS.
