Hide Your iPod Ear Buds

As part of many recent warnings in USA and Europe, San Francisco’s rail system started to inform commuters, especially those who won an iPod, that they should hide their famous white and grey ear buds. Why? To avoid to be the dedicated target of thieves. The Bay Area Rapid Transit District is even distributing fliers with the following warning: "Don’t be a target: Use ear buds other than the standard iPod white, or other aftermarket headphones"
Statistics show that up to 11 percent of robberies were iPod thefts.
For sure, third-party ear bud manufacturers will be glad to obtain such support, and iPod owners might also discover that iPods have an audio potential and quality not fully rendered by the original white and grey ear buds.
