Indeed, although it seems a lot of people use their phone a lot more than 
you.  At the other end of the spectrum is my boss (who has a UK phone 
contract), he recently joined a several hour phone conference by calling 
Japan from his mobile phone - while in the US.  Let's just say his monthly 
phone bill is often in 4 digits!  Mine was 350 euro the other month when I 
used the 3G connection in France as a modem to download email onto my laptop 
:-O  Data tarifs abroad are quite pricey!

Sure, but the thief can still buy something with it worth a lot more than 
your phone, which makes it more valuable to them.  Even if you don't 
actually lose anything.

> Cars can sometimes be found and recovered.

Here cars tend to just be "exported" to Eastern Europe and then sold, nobody 
holds out much hope if your car gets stolen.  If they have the key they're 
laughing, even if they sell it for half price because it's stolen and only 
got 1 key, they are going to get a hell of a lot more for it than a phone.


> Where the hell would you wear that?? o_O

I think the better question is "who" not "where".  And the answer is people 
who earn more money than you or I :-)  The same people who drive a car worth 
100K or live in a house worth a million or two, why would they even take a 
second look at some cheap necklace for "only" a few hundred pounds?
