Eric Schneiderman calls the thefts "Apple picking" because most of the devices stolen in New York are from Apple. According to Schneiderman's office, there were 11,447 cases of stolen Apple products in the first nine months of 2012. Compare that to 3,280 for the same period in 2011. He says the big cell phone makers "have a responsibility to their customers to fulfill their promises to ensure safety and security," and asked why the companies can't develop technology to render stolen phones inoperable.
