Our mobile phones are the probably the most expensive item we carry around with us on a day-to-day basis, yet nearly half of us have lost or had them stolen in the last 3 years.
Over 4.5 million mobile phone users are forced to replace their handsets each year; a third as a result of theft. Almost half of all street crime now involves mobile phone theft, with a mobile phone stolen every minute in the UK.
However, it's not just thieves that can deprive us of our phones; over a million mobiles a year are damaged due to carelessness: dropping them down the toilet, into drinks, or accidentally putting them into the washing machine.
