10 cell phones reported stolen daily in Philippines | ABS-CBN News | Latest Philippine Headlines, Breaking News, Video, Analysis, Features

Cases of cellular phone theft in the Philippines went up in 2009, based on figures released by the National Telecommunications Commission.

This is only those that are reported,some people don't even report their phones stolen because like the article said, it's useless which with my own experience is true.

In an article on August 2010, an average of 400 cell phones are stolen and the cops in the country are refusing to book cellphone theft cases stating they are not of serious nature

My phone was stolen, once at knife point and I always report. Nothing ever happens. That's why whenever I go out, I always bring a basic phone with me. My smartphone always stays at home.
 
yeah.. that sucks...
GSM phones with sim cards are what your country uses .. right?

leaving your smartphone at home.. really kills a huge part of the reason we have them. Data/info/GPS/search/camera/screen at your finger tips--- ON THE GO.

sucks that you pay for it.. but cant use it... sorry.
 
Most of the time I'm home anyways XD

Better to use it at home that have a chance for it to be stolen. There is one rich girl I know that her iPhone got stolen A DAY after it was bought. Then her rich daddy bought her another one, then a week later the same thing happened. Her sister told me that she leaves that phone lying around in public, the outside tables in front of restaurants. Maybe majority of those thefts are with stupid people.
 
Bring your smartphone and a shitty phone, if someone asks for your phone at knifepoint, give them the shit one...
 
So far the "flaunting my shitty phone in public" works, If I know I'll be that effing bored between classes(Tuesdays and Thursdays), I usually play with my DHD, mainly using Shitty Phone for texting.
My DHD is safe because no one knows it exist. *evil laugh*
