[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Students were murdered in recent months at University of SC and Alabama. I know a kid who has been mugged at gunpoint twice at Salisbury.

College students are targets. [/quote]

For what exactly?  A stained sweatshirt and an old iphone?   I don't even see how much they can possibly get from these kids to have this be worth while.[/quote]

Laptops, [b]airpods[/b], iphones,..[/quote]

[b]Show me one example of someone robbing a kid for AirPods[/b]. AirPods are pretty worthless without the charger. Not to mention I doubt there is a second hand market for nasty used earpods with ear wax all over them.

That said, AirPods are a visual signal the person likely has more expensive items in their possession.[/quote]

I'm not the PP you quoted but here you go

At Harvard a couple years ago.   Took me all of 5 seconds to do a google search and find.[/quote]

So an example from 3 years ago when they were new? Okay, hardly makes it a trend. They simply aren't worth anything used. Like I said, I think they do visually signal you're possibly a wealthy college kid, likely distracted, and with other more expensive Apple products in your possession. But they are not THE target.[/quote]
