Surely not, that must be skewed by people being caught multiple times?
Hate to say it but people need to learn to put their phones down when in public and start displaying some awareness of their surroundings. The thefts are of course wrong but device addiction is so bad that people just don’t help themselves.
Over a whole lifetime? I’m surprised the number isn’t higher. I first had my phone stolen at 16 and have since been attempted to be robbed a further 5 times.
Who are these 2 in 3 people that have never been robbed?
Previously worked in mobile phone insurance. The common things are basically not paying attention, being on your phone in crowds. And also those people who walk with phones in their hand on speaker phone easily get them snatched out of their hands.
There’s also a new spate of thieves watching people until they enter their passcode before swiping the unlocked phone and being able to access it after seeing the passcode.
Also leaving your phone out on the table in pubs/restaurants.
If you have the function, make sure any apps that are financial or shopping, require touch/Face ID etc to even open them, let alone login. Also ensure you can remotely wipe your phone.
Ofcourse it’s true. Because apparently everyone outside of London doesn’t matter….
I’ve been a self inflicted victim of losing a few in a couple of beverage establishments
Would have commented sooner but some bastard stole my phone
interestingly also, 1 in 3 in UK admit they are not aware of their surroundings
1 in 3 is extremely high and I call bullshit on that stat.
For London *maybe* and specific parts, but for the rest of the country? Absolutely no way, I don’t even know anyone who’s had their phone snatched, including my friends in London, nevermind up here in Yorkshire.
I was walking along holding my chocolate bar, reading the text on the back and it was snatched right out my hand. Couldn’t believe it!
People shouldn’t have to do it, but consider buying a phone strap, like you would wear if holding a camera. They’re £5 for 3 on amazon, I like the ones by Empire.
Well I fall into that, but it was in secondary school in 2004. Now what?
No shit, they all walk around with them hanging out of their arse pockets…
I bought a £70 Honor with just the basics installed, no banking and stuff I’d care if someone gained access, or I lost it. I used it for nights out in the city and outdooring stuff.
Obviously most people here know nothing about London lol. They do not realise how serious the problem is
This doesn’t add up at all, can’t name a single person I know who has had their phone stolen.
Most of these stolen phones end up in Shenzhen, China. The UK government should be applying pressure on China and dealing with the smugglers who are taking the phones to China.
I don’t know anyone who’s had that problem. Although I sent a phone in to be repaired and the postman stole it but he was stealing all sorts of parcels so that’s different.
