Police Stings Target Stolen iPhone Buyers

Undercover Police Stings Target Front Lines Of Stolen iPhone Market: "Lee and his team are part of a special task force established three years ago to combat phone thefts here, mirroring similar undercover teams set up in New York and Washington D.C. They have not chosen this corner at random. The intersection of Seventh and Market is San Francisco’s primary open-air market for stolen electronics, police say. Given that nearly half of San Francisco residents own an iPhone -- the highest rate of any city in the nation -- this stolen phone bazaar amounts to a crucial conduit in an illicit, increasingly global trade."
