Good idea

Sean Collins Walsh has an article in the Philadelphia Daily News about a good idea that turned out to be a bad thing:

With Philadelphia recently ranked as the number one city in the country for cellphone thefts, Councilwoman Blondell Reynolds Brown is seeking to ban machines that dispense instant cash for electronic devices. A bill she is introducing would outlaw "automated purchasing machines", which many fear enable thieves to quickly unload their loot and pocket a handsome reward; newer iPhones can fetch hundreds on the spot.
"Cellphone robberies are the crime of today, and far too many of them are turning violent," Reynolds Brown said in a statement. "We as a city cannot allow further incentives to entice criminal activity."
Philly's only machine is in the Franklin Mills Mall.

Rico says yeah, it's not like the Franklin Mills Mall might not have a few young thugs (who do not look like the lady in the photo) in it...
