Depending on how they get stolen, I'd carry a decoy.
That actually worked for me once. Handed over my old Nokia brick phone and kept my Motorola flip lol.
Not a bad idea actually. I do have a work phone which I could hand over but if I get frisked they'll find the personal phone anyways
....What awful country is this, that your phone gets stolen?
Every country
Never seen or heard of it happening since screen locks became common.
That doesnt really stop them tho, they can still find a way to format it and sell it. Maybe some models can require password for reset but there must be one way or another to do it for doing necessary repairs.
And yet, you would think I would have seen or heard someone complain about theft before now. Everyone has one. This international location is the only place. Thus my assumption that it is some remote country. Doesn't happen here in Australia.
But what about a decoy for the decoy?
