Technology Putting Thieves Out of Business

[JMcEntegart]

Advances in technology means things that were once extremely expensive are now very cheap. However, it seems these advances are the same ones that are pushing common criminals away from burglary and towards mugging.

Awesome. Now they can move on to stealing organs! Once the chinese figure out how to manufacture human organs on the cheap, we'll all be safe.

But white collar thieves, like Bank of America execs, they're safe!

Stealing personal information is much more profitable than stealing a TV.

Yea iPhone is going to be the high list since it's small and of high value.

I sure hope that isn't the new logo for the next Thief game!

What you find is more and more cyber crimes taking place, crime just doesn't go away like a virus it adapts to a new environment.

so.... instead of just having our stuff stolen... now we get our stuff stolen and might get hurts too

Nah, there are no benefits to capitalism and "exporting jobs to China." Except massively cheap electronics, better quality of life, more options, etc. etc. We need to go back to when mom and pops were manufacturing high tech quality motherboards in their neighborhood store. Oh that's right, they don't do that. Large corporations do. Oops.

Statistically apeaking, in the US, that gun is twice as likely to get stolen then it is to shoot an intruder. Not to mention the pending lawsuit that will follow if you do shoot him.

Why steel cheap imported crap when one can gamble in the casino that is wall street but we all know that is a rigged game. Wall Street has stolen trillions over the past two years alone in the US from the people and one must wonder how much is being stolen abroad. $23.7Trillion USD stolen from the taxpayer alone since the banker bailout in 2008. They are going to attempt yet another bailout except it may fail however the global economy is toast and it will not recover the standard of living as it is known even in the third world much less any ware for at least 20-30 years if nothing else goes wrong. If the buffoons in DC and in Moscow screw it up over Iran and Israel starting a third world war don't count on any thing getting better for a long time.

Trust me, it'll always get better.

That may be, but it will be the most satisfying moment you can have with a shotgun, IMO. I've been burglarized 3 times, if I ever caught the guy, the shotgun would be the last of his worries.

Come on, guys. Any Final Fantasy player knows that your thief character will eventually upgrade the 'Steal' ability to 'Mug'

I was once a victim of burglary. They broke into my car and stole my Alpine Tape/CD deck. It cost me a whopping $400 back then. Today, even the $100 head units are much better because you can do a lot with them, like iPod contorl, USB port, XM radio, HD radio, and bluetooth.
