In recent years, with cell phones widely used, cell phone thefts occur far more often than before. Since cell phones have a certain valuation and can be changed from hand to hand easily, they tend to become the main target of thieves.
One of my cell phones was stolen when I was on the bus. That day, it was so crowded that I didn’t find it stolen until I got off the bus. Thus, from then on, I always keep an eye on my cell phone in case it misses again. Meanwhile, I have accumulated some experiences in protecting it from being stolen.
to Put It in Your Bag
If you have a bag, you had better put your mobile in the innermost of it and zip it. Compared with putting it into the pocket, the former is more effective in offering the security. By the way, if you are on a crowded bus or somewhere fulfilled with people, please put your bag in front of you.
Not to Show It in Public Place
As the saying goes: the money shall not be exposed to eyes. So, try your best not to use the mobile in public place, otherwise it is likely to cause the lifters’ attention. However, many people like to send messages or chat on QQ on vehicles, which tends to make them become the lifters’ target.
to Use a Cheaper One Instead of an Expensive One
This method is just suitable for the one who is too worried about the stealing thing. The mobile you use is so cheap that the thieves are not interested in it at all. It couldn’t be better that you have more than one cell phone. Then even though it is stolen, you will not feel so hurt.
to Put the Strap Away
It’s reported that putting the decorating strap outside your pocket will increase the opportunity of the mobile’s missing, reasoning that the lifter can take away your mobile and keep you unconscious. If you had to put the cell phone in your pocket, except for putting the strap away, you should put it in the most close-fitting pocket so that you can feel it existing.
Of course, there are still other ways, for example, you can tie your cell phone and your hand with a cord. However, I think the best way is setting an anti theft system in the cell phone, such as the fingerprint recognition system or other more advanced recognition systems. And I know these all depend on the development of technology. Therefore, before the new technology is available, what we can do is keeping an eye on our mobiles.
