Dateline “exposes” iPod thieves via hidden camera

Filed under: ,

There’s probably nothing quite as embarrassing as being ambushed on national television by Chris Hansen for stealing a measly iPod. Of course, NBC’s crack team of journalists are just trying to expose the growing trend of iPod theft in the world… or kick up their ratings. In a bizarre and somewhat convoluted “hidden camera” scheme, Dateline nabs thieves at their own game by allowing them to steal new iPods bundled with a “special” install disc which secretly hands over the user’s information to the news program. The venus-fly-trap-like plot unfolds as the crew leaves “unattended” iPods in high traffic areas, and is then shocked to see people walking off with them. With all due respect, Dateline, you were pretty much asking for it. If you’d like to know how it all ends, hit the read link for the six page transcript.
