You know what time it is; Robberies on Metro continue to increase « The Washington Syndicate

This is not news to The Syndicate as last summer I heard stories of youngsters robbing and mobbing for iPods, iPhones, and other hand-held electronic devices. With all due respect, The Examiner was the first print news outlet last fall to break down Metro's crime stats clearly showing a spike in robberies correlating with an increase in portable personal technology over the past five calendar years. The Examiner has continued its close coverage with The Post's coverage noticeably lagging behind. The city's paper of record was at one time on top of the Metro beat, but they aren't anymore.
