[nabs-l] Theft & SMART Phones

[Joshua Lester]

The disabled are also vulnerable.
I never use my cell phone in public.
I keep it on me, but I don't show it off.
BTW, my phone is a Tracfone, so noone would want it!
There are some tips I'll give you to prevent this kind of thing.
#1. If someone asks if they can use your phone, tell them no!
#2. Tell them that if they want you to call someone for them, that you will, but never hand them your phone.
Vulnerability doesn't discriminate!
I know the article says that women are vulnerable, but for us blind folks, (for example,) men can be vulnerable too, especially since we're not able to see the intruder.
Blessings, Joshua

Hello,

I came across this news story about numerous iPhone thefts in the Bay
Area of Northern California, and it reported that these thefts are
perpetrated on vulnerable people. The people, who are targeted are
women, and I am curious if anyone takes special precautions when
using their SMART Phone out in public.
