So you know those white headphones that come with the iPods? You know how they sound real good? Well for about $10, maybe $20, you could get another pair of not-so-white ones that sound just as good, if not better. Why do you care? Because thieves recognize iPod listeners by the color of their headphones.

Beware, when walking the streets at night and wearing white ear buds you will be noticed. And you will be labeled as an iPod listener, whether it's true or not. They'll either jump you or they'll be nicer like the guy in the article and ask if you're listening to an iPod before they pull the knife on you. Sweetheart, wasn't he? So, for a price that's a fraction of that iPod's cost, get yourself some different headphones and be that much safer out there.
