    Nah. They'll just keep jacking up prices for the folks that arent thieves.

    Yes, and the rest of us have to pay for it through higher prices for goods and higher prices for insurance. There is no "free lunch."

    Do you really want to subsidize thieves?

    I think they can be activated over seas like in China. They will just ship them with one of the containers of stolen catalytic converters.

    if the thieves were black, then any report about them what-so-ever is simply just racist!!!!!!!!!!

    if they're black, it's part of their reparations, and they're only stealing because the white devil has kept them down for so long.

    If black people commit crimes, including rape or murder, it's only because they're victims, of the white man! lmao.
    Of course the morality behind this doesn't make any logical sense, but hey! It's liberal morality, and liberal logic.

    Everyone’s wrangling over value of stolen products to make a determination as to whether it’s “worth it” to stop thieves.

    value of stolen products is irrelevant. You stop thieves because thieves need to be stopped, and the resulting alternative is to openly invite more and escalating crimes by a growing and bolder criminal population.

    Asking self protective “worth it” questions is just coward-speak.

    China does not cooperate with IMEI blocking with America. I suspect they can wipe, but not disable. Without IMEI blocking they can probably get updates, too. NOT to remind you they make them over there.

    Still? Theft is as old as mankind.

    Theft loss is theft loss. It doesnt make any difference how they steal stuff.

    I agree. The "you support the criminal" line was absurd.

    LOL. Crime is a serious problem in Florida, and he has done absolutely nothing about it. Some places in Miami are like war-zones. Culture wars are his top priority, and real issues take the back seat.

    Absolutely. This all started when the police realized it's a lot easier to watch porn and arrest others for doing the same than to try and stop violent criminals; then pols realized they can make it illegal to teach children gays exist and they won't have to address problems of poverty and wealth disparity which might rankle contributors. This is now the Republican stock in trade so expect more of it, not less.

    It's called "smash and grab" . It's been done to jewelers for years and the only thing new about is that smartphones are the jewels

    Apple recently revealed that not even the CIA could break their encryption. I don't think the Chinese can either. It's not that they're so smart, it's that most modern encryption is well-nigh unbreakable (for now)
