Mobile phone theft is far worse than we thought | |

Far more mobile people have had their phone stolen in the last year than reported crime figures suggest. That's one of the main findings of a study by market research firm Continental Research which reckons 1.3 million Britons had their phone pinched in the last year, with teenagers in particular falling prey to theft. The latest Home Office statistics, which are based on crimes reported to the police, estimate 700,000 phones are stolen annually. Continental Research's figures come after a survey of 2,000 people, from which it concluded four per cent of people have been victims of mobile theft over the last year. Londoners are twice as likely to have their phones stolen as individuals from other parts of the country, the study suggests. | ||
