The thieves want plausible deniability if they are caught possessing it.

If a policeman suspects you of being a car thief and catches you with a Raspberry Pi, that looks pretty suspicious.

The same policeman wouldn't think anything suspicious about (what appears to be) a Nokia cell phone.

Indeed, who did he have to kill to get one?!

Well, nowadays a phone like that would be suspicious, because everyone has a smartphone. A BT speaker is a lot less suspicious, however.

I'll have to relay that to my dad who drives around with a small cluster of SBCs mounted into his vehicle
