Have you ever had your mobile phone stolen? I had. Theft of mobile phones is common all around the world. In Australia more the 200K cellphones are lost or stolen each year while Britons loose about 700K phones a year according to their reported crime statistics.
And lets face it, mobile phones are easy to steal and then easy to sell. But todays cellphone theft in Russia reached a whole new level. Someone managed to steal a shipment of mobile phones worth about $1 million.
According to Russian police a group of persons managed to drive off with a “Reno” truck carrying $1 million worth of mobile phones for one Moscow company. On Tuesday the truck was stopped by 2 persons wearing police uniform. The driver was cuffed and taken to the remote location while other perpetrators took off with the truck.
Condolences for the Russian company who lost a lot of phones yesterday. Let’s hope they had a lot of insurance.
