    they need to rob it to quickly sell it .. even 200 bucks ..or less they dont care if its 500 value device..

    Imagine you normally working in factory for crap money but robbers if they steal one phone day and sell for 200 it is weekly grand = monthly 4000..

    some does sell max 250-300 but defo not every day ..

The report clearly states there is a direct correlation between including a killswitch and thefts declining. You had to suspend reality to ignore the increase in iphone sales during the same time period.
