Nokia most robbed phones
According to criminal experts from the UK’s Loughborough University, the Nokia 6230 is the most-stolen phone in Britain. But, the researchers can’t yet compose a risk index until the can get actual sales figures on handsets.
So they have to guess that the Nokia is probably a best seller. Mobile currently rates the 6230i as the ninth best selling handset on contract. What they really need is historical sales figures.
It also comes as no surprise to find that the Samsung D500 was the second most and the Motorola Razr the third most stolen handset. The statistics, analysis of 112,093 crimes in London last year, are believed to be the first attempt to draw up a mobile theft index similar to lists for cars and bikes.
It’s would be nice to see figures for Ireland but my guess is it’s something similar, maybe I should get insurance next time I buy a phone.
Curiously, despite the Razr’s third ranking, more Sony Ericssons were stolen in total than Motorolas.
