Highlights Of The Survey

People become careless of their phones while they travel. The majority of thefts happen because the individuals leave their phone behind accidentally which is later snatched by a burglar. Europeans are the most victims of pickpocketing compared to Americans roughly 28% in Europe versus 11% in the U.S.

 

 

In America, public commuters are the most common mode of transport. It is shocking to know that most phone thefts happen in restaurants, bar & nightclubs and public transports.

 

 

Americans are forgetful people. In an urban environment, individuals get busy with work during the peak hours of the day and that’s also the prime time where phones are getting snatched from the victims. It is during the midday between 12 noon to 5 pm when careless Smartphone owners fall prey to phone theft.  

 

 

People fail to notice their being lost immediately. By immediately we mean within an hour. Only 25 percent of victims in America tend to notice that their phone has been stolen immediately.

 

 

The chances of discovering your missing phone back is agreeable though we need to accept the fact that thieves are sneaky and they might do anything to avoid being tracked. Removing the SIM card from the device is one way of doing it or turning the device into airplane mode to avoid any contacts.

Whilst 90 percent of victims are ready to go for drastic measures to retrieve their Smartphone, only 32 percent of the victims have actually succeeded in it.

 

Not The Device That Matters, It Is What’s Inside…..Your Personal Information

While some of the data stored in the device can be recovered, some cannot be, such as passwords, videos, apps and the data it contains. This might result in several emotional effects on the victims ranged from stress to depression. Adverse and worst case scenarios include identity theft or fraudulent fund transfer in accounts.

While some of you are already worried and wondering how to avoid phone theft, here is what you could possibly do,

• 70% victims research on security features while purchase of new Smartphone.
• 76% victims download Anti Theft Apps.
• 80% victims set PIN lock or passcode to prevent intruders.
