New initiative to fight cell phone theft

Posted: Updated:
WASHINGTON, DC -

On Monday, D.C. Mayor Vincent Gray and Police Chief Cathy Lanier will announce the availability of a new tool in the fight against cell phone theft. It's called "bricking," and it renders a stolen cell phone inoperable. The act of "bricking" makes the phone useless to the thief and effectively eliminates the re-sell value of the phone.
