Is the Mobil Phone boom rocked anyone else's shores?

Well, here (Britain, or England at least) EVERYONE is clutching their little gateway to someone else close to their bosom (heh. bosom). People (a LOT of people) get mugged EVERY DAY for their mobile phones. Sick thing being, most of these muggings are being performed on children from 11-17, BY children 11-17. I was just wondering, is this happening anywhere else?

All the time dude, that's why they build in those thingies, you know, once your gsm is stolen, the police starts bombarding the thing with sms messages every 5 minutes. Messages like: attention, this phone is stolen.

It didn't happen to me so far, and if it did, no big deal. I got four of em, just in case. [img]graemlins/hehe.gif[/img]

Excuse me? everyone?! I for one cant stand mobile phones, they have their uses yes, but when little children, start playing those be-damned ring tunes on the bus it drives me insane... besides *grin* I think I've got enough radation pumbing tho my skul via the moniter, without adding to it...

I have never had my phone stolen and neither have any of my friends. So I don't think it happens over here much.

But when People do steal them here. We head straight for ATT's shop. Those phones are already hooked up with numbers and everything.

My Uncle pulled that off once never did get caught.

And I couldn´t agree more!! Especially when they´re (not only children though) doing it in hospitals and libraries andsuch!
