In Bus or any public place with lots of rush its often very easy to get your cell phone stolen.DO you take any precautions to prevent this? what are the things to remember in such a situation? What will you do in case your cell phone is lost?

No its really stolen. I went to our college store and put my bag where my cellphone is and i put it under all the bags. I saw some young guys in there putting also their bags. I did all my shopping and return and put the one that i bought in my bag. I found out i lost my cellphone in there.So i went back to the store and asked if they saw somebody touching my bag. I am very sad and cry because i did not write all the numbers of my friends and family in a notebook. So i am so worried thats only my means of communication to my family. I came back to my room in the dormitory and pray. I beleive i have my phone back. One week later the worker from Department of student Affairs called me that my cellphone was returned by somebody and they cant believe that a thief returned my cellphone.

Keep it locked up in a purse or deep in my pocket. I keep it close by where I can monitor it and no one can get it without me knowing.

Yeh thats also what I do..only thing I do.For me Its just enough to make sure no body takes it.I keep deep in my pants pocket..But I just dont put it in a purse. But sometimes its difficult for even me to take it out quickly,'cause I ussually wear tight jeans.

I carry a purse that is very close to my hip, and it is in a comfortable position so that I can have my hand on my purse when I am on the bus. My cell phone goes into a large pocket with a lot of other stuff, so it would be pretty difficult to just find my cell phone in all that mess. I'm usually more concerned about my bus pass, my iPod, or my wallet than my cell phone, but it's good to keep all of those items close to my body and secure.
