Why is it that there are people who are too lazy to work on a nice way and just steal others' people things? It happened last August 11 (i forgot to write a discussion about it after the incident)and it was my birthday after all. (BAD VIBES!!!) We were just in the tricycle when we noticed that her bag was already opened and boom! she checked the cellphone and it was GONE! OMG! Plus it was not only the cellphone but also the burritos from taco bell! hahaha! the thief was hungry i guess! Well now, she's using an old but still working phone. it's just that i was really disappointed about it. Bye bye cellphone! We'll miss you! FOR THE THIEF: I HOPE YOU ARE HAPPY JUST ENJOY! KARMA IS ON ITS WAY FINDING YOU! hahahahahaha

They should invent mobile phones you can destroy by calling it! That way nobody will ever dare to steal mobile phones ever and ever again.

whoa! that's cool! hahahahahahaha. it's as if you'll trigger a bomb and *BOOM* but what if they turned it off after they stealed it? you won't be able to contact the number anymore so you can't destroy it, right? hehehehe! thanks for the very creative imagination!

Like computers and other electric devices with a clock have an internal clock and battery that is always running you could invent something like that as well. They can't steal without fingers...

This is possible. All mobile phones have their own serial number, and can be tracked even if the phone has a different sim card already. This is a great idea! Also, it doesn't have to be a big boom (cause that would make cellphones banned from malls, airports, schools, practically anywhere), it could just be a self destruct feature like overheating the internal circuitry until it melts or burned. This is a great idea. Hope I could make something like this soon :) Thanks

I agree, most specially the Bag. it ain't good when you're not careful with it. better why use a back pack bag and not shoulder bags. those who uses shoulder or handy always gets cut. godbless and be careful.

hi there! my sister used backpack when the incident happen so we can't conclude that using backpack is better. all we need to do is always ensure the security of our valuable things whatever bags we're using. thanks for the concern! God bless you too!

I'm thankful your sister was not hurt. I had an experience where a guy pointer a screw driver at me and snatched my phone from my hand. Painful experience. So when I got into college, I'm into Taekwondo. lol. Anyway, I hate those people. Parents or yourself work hard for that phone. It's disheartening to see people do evil to innocent to people. Karma has it ways to find that person.

Reminder: If you have two phones, always bring the old one and just leave the new one at home. of course, use a different sim card that other friend of yours know.this is what most call center agents do at night so that it wouldn't be too painful if their phones got stolen. reminds of my mom leaving a phone on the tricycle and the driver didn't gave it back, what's worse is that my mom didn't talked when she approach the que of tricycle and drivers. her fault anyways, we told not to bring it anymore.

IT sucks when someone stole your phone or any member of your famioytheir phone was sotlen. I remember that one when my husband and i were just engage during that time. He visited me in my country and he was in the hotel and when he got bored he went to the internet cafe to play a game coz i was not there i was working that time in a hospital i ahd my duty. And then whole day i did not received any call from him or any text then i said to myself uhm.that's very unsual for hiem coz normally he alwasy text me and call when i am at work. then when i am off from my duty then i went to him he was upset coz he phone was stolen and remember this he is inside the cafe. It was a terrible feeling and that was he's first cellphone and he had that phone for only 1 month then somebody stole it. It was so annoying and he said it was jud a kids who stole he's phone. At the internet cafe he said to me that it was just him and the 2 kids around 14 to 15 years of age and they dress well. Just the three of them inside that net cafe that day. WHen he was about to play his game one kids top his sholuder and siad hey joe you have money on the floor and then he look down at the floor and he sees bills and then he get the money and then it was 60 pesos and then he look up and about to say that hey this is not my money but the kids were not there they were gone And then he said ok i iwll just give this money to the couter coz if someone will look for this money the worker at the counter can give this money back to the owner. Only he realize that his cellphone was gone. The kids stole his phoen it was one of their modos operande...That's why be carfull with your phone.

if there's a will, there's a way. the people can still earn money in doing legal jobs. yeah i know it's not easy money, but at least it's from good and they work hard to have it! no. the cops can't do something about it. there are many cases of stealing/pick pocket but still the thieves are just out there waiting for their new victims.

Terrible experience like your sister also once happened to me beforetime. When I was in my college,my mobile phone was stolen afer I have already had my lesson in a big classroom.I guessed that mostly the thief is the worker who cleaned the classroom after class. But it was my fault to great extent,since I was so careless that time.I really hope that such experience that happened to your sister and me won't take place again in future.

If the thief has a good education or upbringing, do you think he will be doing this? Sometimes, some of them are just too addicted while some have some sort of illness. But some are like what u mentioned, too lazy to find a job.

Same thing happened with my daughter last summer. Just two days before her graduation,her mobile also was stolen. She almost cried becoz,that's her dad's gift to her last year and it's a new model too. People are too lazy to do such thing and owned things the easy way (stealing) My daughter really feels sad about losing her mobile becoz of the sentimental value and not the price Hope those people will realize what they're doing before they'll end up in jail. Happy mylotting always

Yes they are really lazy to find a decent job. But you cannot do anything now regarding the cellphone because even you block the IMEI of the phone to the NTC replacing IMEI in Philippines is very easy and you cannot trace it anymore. NTC must be very to monitor every cellphone shop for changing IMEI codes.
