It happened early Wednesday morning around 6:15 at 110th Street and 5th Avenue inside the park. Two suspects approached a 46-year-old man who was jogging in the park and began to punch him. The victim fell to the ground and dropped his iPad, which the robbers picked up before running away. The first suspect is described as a black man in his 20s, about 5-foot-7 to 5-foot-9. He was wearing a brown T-shirt, khaki pants, black sneakers and has a goatee. The second suspect is described as a black man between the ages of 25 and 30, and is also 5-foot-7 to 5-foot-9. He was wearing a gray shirt, blue jeans and has a goatee. Anyone with information in regards to this robbery is asked to call the NYPD's Crime Stoppers Hotline at 800-577-TIPS. You can also submit your tips by logging onto the Crime Stoppers Website at [url]WWW.NYPDCRIMESTOPPERS.COM[/url] or by texting your tips to 274637(CRIMES) and then entering TIP577.

Edit: Made an oopsie... Zeke corrected me on that one.
[QUOTE=scout1;30672480]Generally, to listen to music.[/QUOTE] iPad, not iPod he was jogging with an iPad lol
Why would you bring anything of value into Central Park?
How is this news-worthy? Edit: Sure he's jogging with an iPad, but it's still a pretty normal thing.
[QUOTE=Zeke129;30672665]iPad, not iPod he was jogging with an iPad lol[/QUOTE] Oh. OH. What, why?!
Why would you get an iPad for this? In cases like these, the iPad is just an inconvenient iPod.
[QUOTE=Meller Yeller;30672887]Why would you get an iPad for this? In cases like these, the iPad is just an inconvenient iPod.[/QUOTE] it's bigger so it has more features
the most interesting thing isn't the fact that a person was jogging with an ipad. the most interesting thing is the fact that he was robbed by what appear to be completely identical clones wearing different clothing [quote] The first suspect is described as a black man in his 20s, about 5-foot-7 to 5-foot-9.

[QUOTE=ExplodingGuy;30672709]Why would you bring anything of value into Central Park?[/QUOTE] Central Park really isn't that bad. Especially during the day. Then again, carrying an iPad around with you, especially while jogging(for some odd reason) isn't the best of ideas in a non business/academic setting.
[QUOTE=RBM11;30673066]All black people don't look alike you racist.[/QUOTE] I hope that's a joke. Not in a sense that they do... but in the sense of that isn't what he was saying at all. Heh.
[QUOTE=RBM11;30673066]All black people don't look alike you racist.[/QUOTE] Nah... They just all look the same when they are running away guilty :v:
I got mugged for my iPod when walking to 711. :(

This is why I'm glad I live in a rural town. I hope I can find a job that isn't in a city.
Maybe he had a case for it so he could run while jogging. [img]http://www.evenflo.com/images/products/lg0761697A.jpg[/img] Something like this
What kinda guy carries something like that while jogging? It would seem really inconvenient.
Was he trying to look important or something?
[QUOTE=MachiniOs;30675608]Was he trying to look important or something?[/QUOTE] In which case, he would most probably not be jogging in central park
[QUOTE=Konigstiger96;30675658]In which case, he would most probably not be jogging in central park[/QUOTE] On the contrary, I'd think that if you were trying to show how affluent you are to the world Central Park would pretty much be the best place to start.
Oh well, at least he has an excuse to actually buy a productive device now...
Just because the iPad is an oversized iPod, it doesn't mean you can use the iPad like an iPod.
Hey guys, just here jogging. Took my iPad along to show it off, and show that's I'm different and special by buying Apple products. Seriously, a simple MP3 player costs like 15 dollars.
Even though I don't know why you would jog with an iPad, it still sucks to get mugged of one.
I can't picture a person jogging with an Ipad. It would just make running efficiently more inconvenient.
The guy who jogged is an idiot. Seriously, who brings with them an Ipad worth atleast 400$ only for listening to music?
When I saw the title the first thing that went through my head was "people get mugged in Central Park, why is this news", but then I saw they were carrying an Ipad. Who the fuck goes jogging with something that costs an upwards of $600?
[QUOTE=kimr120;30682328]The guy who jogged is an idiot. Seriously, who brings with them an Ipad worth atleast 400$ only for listening to music?[/QUOTE] Someone stupid enough to buy a $400 iPad in the first place.
[QUOTE=Mr. Bleak;30682395]Someone stupid enough to buy a $400 iPad in the first place.[/QUOTE] Ignore the possibility that people use it for their jobs everyone who buys it must be a total idiot!
