Maybe Robin should handle this crime spree

Boston Police are warning owners of Sidekick cell phones that thieves are out to get them. Police say 14% of all robberies in Boston - or 300 last year - involved the T-Mobile smartphones.

Police say they've shut two stores in recent days that may have been fencing stolen Sidekicks - Cellular Paging of JP, 420 Geneva Ave. in Dorchester, where detectives yesterday found 475 used Sidekicks, and G&M Electronics Wireless Store, 7 Blue Hill Ave., which had 71 used Sidekicks, including, police say, a stolen Sidekick it bought from an undercover detective.

Police add that almost all the thefts happen either before or after school.
