London Police wants Apple, Samsung & Google's help to solve city's street crime problem
London police are demanding Apple, Samsung, and Google implement stronger anti-theft measures for smartphones.

Proposals include a permanent "stolen mode" and hardware-level blocking to curb street crime and the resale market.
