From today's Boston Globe:
"In the first 11 months of 2006, police reported 217 GPS devices stolen in Boston. During the same time period in 2007, the number skyrocketed to 1,009 - an increase so dramatic it skewed Boston crime statistics that would have shown greater improvement, Police Commissioner Edward F. Davis lamented at the commanders meeting.
"'Our crime rate would be down 7 percent, instead of being down 4 percent,' he said."
