Rocking Robber, I don’t go anywhere without my tunes!

So the next time you go for a jog, or power walk packing your iPod, take your ski mask just in case your inclined towards a bit of armed robbery. This happened on Friday and I glanced over it quickly because I’ve had a really busy weekend, and the news in Oz has been dominated by the federal election, yawn. Reviewing recent news today, I had another look at this story.

Look closely at the picture, see the guy who’s already cuffed and against the window, is that a telltale white iPod headphone cable snaking out of his pocket up under his shirt? Seems you need your PMP where ever you go these days. Click on the picture for a larger view, you can better make out the rest of the headphone cable on his shoulder. What do you think he was listening to?
