According to the BBC, the Thames Valley Police dept. take mobile phone theft pretty darn seriously. Important enough of a problem that they have instituted a national mobile database in order to help locate the owners of lost mobile phones.
Now in order for this to work of course, one must obviously take the time to register their phone in case of theft or loss. Once this has happened, they can then sleep soundly at night knowing that their mobile devices is not a lost cause if it is ever stolen.
Thames Valley Police has joined a national mobile database to help trace owners of stolen phones.
Almost 10,000 mobile phones were stolen in Berkshire last year with more than 4,000 stolen in Oxfordshire.
If they find phones they believe are stolen, police can check the database and return the equipment to the owners.
Det Sgt Ian Holt said: “This database will help us quickly see if someone has a stolen phone with them, particularly when checking suspects’ property where a robbery or burglary has taken place or long afterwards if someone is tempted to buy a stolen phone.”
