About two months ago my friend was in China and her phone got stolen. The other week my friend's phone got stolen in Australia. One of my friends warned me to be careful with my phone in China or it might get stolen. I ignored this warning thinking that having a passcode on my phone makes it useless to a thief and the fact it can be tracked makes it worse than useless. I got lucky.
These days any phone worth having will use a passcode or fingerprint or facial recognition software to unlock the phone. All phones worth having can also be tracked by the user.
I've come up with two possible reasons why someone might steal a phone despite this.
-Throw away the phone and use the sim card to commit other crimes
-The user was recorded entering the passcode before the phone was stolen
Are these reasons above just bullshit I've made up or are they valid? Are there other reasons I haven't thought of?
