DENVER -- Police are warning about a new crime trend called "iJacking."
They say there’s been an alarming increase in the theft of laptop computers. In recent investigation, Police arrested a man they called "The Laptop Bandit." He allegedly stole laptops at gunpoint, from suspects in local coffee shops.
While the use of a gun is unusual, police say stealing laptops is becoming more common. Police reports indicate laptops are commonly stolen from parked vehicles, open office areas and other places where people are using them.
"They're really taking them from anywhere people tend to carry these convenient pieces of technology," says
Also, police suggest you record the serial number. That way, if anything happens, you can at least get it back if it's recovered.
