Looks like criminals know the big ticket, easy to grab items that they can run from a scene with. Check out these statistics on console theft since 2007…

2007 - 1,074 reported stolen
2008 - 21,732 reported stolen
2009 - 42,615 reported stolen

That number includes both portables and consoles, and shows a 285% rise since 2007. Looks like this is a crime that’s quickly on the rise. Better lock that console up at night!
