because it is what it is, and if the phones where being stolen and never used as phones again then your comment would be fully valid and they wouldn't even need to do this because well they arn't being used as phones. But the stolen phones are being used as phones, not ipod's, sure you could use it as such and i'm sure some would, but based on past usage my bet is that if a stolen phone could no longer be used as a phone, it's less likely to be stolen for that purpose.
