Delhi has a booming market for stolen cell phones, with hundreds of shops such as the ones in Gaffar Market selling used phones. Unlike cell phones, stolen vehicles are not resold in Delhi. Last year, a little less than 50% of cell phones lost in the city were reported in Metro and railway stations. The two most-sought-after items by thieves in the national capital are cell phones and motor vehicles, according to Delhi Police data. In April, six men were caught with 448 cell phones, including 310 Apple iPhones.
