According to the FBI’s National Crime Information Center, the number of reported laptop thefts increased almost 48% over the last two years, from 73,700 to almost 109,000. The number of reported phone robberies jumped 33% over the same period, from 60,100 to nearly 80,300…GadgetTrak devlops systems like this to help quash the rising rate of electronics robberies in the U.S. The small size, sleekness and mobility that make today’s electronics convenient also make them great targets for thieves.
