iPod insurance warning

Got a new iPod? you would have been well advised to sort out some insurance at the same time.

iPods and other MP3 players are not usually covered in basic home contents insurance policies.

Similar to mobile phones, the soaring popularity of iPods has made them a clear target for thieves, with recent figures indicating an increase in London thefts of around fivefold since last November, furthermore, the uninsured could lose not just the device itself, but also the catalogue of songs downloaded and stored.

With storage for some 1,000 tracks, sometimes priced at 79p, if not saved on a PC this cost could be very significant - anything up to £790!

Consumers should make sure they are covered by their contents insurance or if now take out iPod insurance separately.

Theft of mobile phones still a problem

A MOBILE phone is stolen every three hours across the county, an Evening Telegraph investigation has found.

Criminals have taken more than 8,000 phones across Northamptonshire over the last three years, figures released under the Freedom of Information Act show. This works out at about 10 mobiles being taken every day.

Year on year the figure has fallen slightly but police are still warning people to be on their guard and keep their phones safe.

Carl Holt, 20, from Desborough, became a victim when his £150 Nokia phone was stolen in the summer.

He said: "My phone was stolen from the back seat of my car. It was a nightmare because I lost all my numbers and had to wait for a week before I got a new phone.

"And the person who stole the phone made about £30 worth of calls, which then caused a lot of hassle in claiming it back from my network provider."

The figures include phones taken during robberies, burglaries and thefts from cars, mail and work.

In the last three years nearly 2,900 mobile phones have been stolen in north Northamptonshire, which equates to three every day.

The number stolen from the county in that time is more than 8,100, which is eight a day.
A Northamptonshire Police spokesman said: "Mobile phones are a real concern to us because they are among the most common items stolen during robberies. Also, with mobile phones we find they are often stolen when people are out and about."

The police advise mobile phone owners to use them discreetly, be aware of their surroundings while using them and register it with the Immobilise register.

Immobilise is the world's largest free register of possession ownership and searchable register of stolen goods and blocked mobile phones. It is used by members of the public and businesses to register their valued possessions or company assets.

Via an Immobilise account, UK users can record any registered item as lost or stolen and this instantly appears on the Police National Stolen Equipment Database.

This online checking service is used by all the UK police forces to trace owners of stolen property.

The force spokesman said 16,000 county homes had registered with the service and there have been a number of successes.

Using your mobile phone in a public place

  • Many people use their mobile phones in public places – thieves know this, so watch out!

  • If you need to make a call, be aware of who is around you

  • Position yourself where you can easily get help if you need it Look for a CCTV camera and stand where it can see you

  • Keep a record of the unique reference number (IMEI) of your phone, if supplied with this some networks can permanently disable the handset if is stolen. To get this, dial *#06#.

  • Record the model, phone number and PIN number details. Keep them somewhere safe

  • Always use the phone’s security lock or PIN number

  • Use an ultra violet property marker. Put your post code and house number underneath the battery and on the back of the battery itself

  • Register the phone with the Service Provider. If the phone is reported stolen the SIM card can be blocked

  • Avoid displaying your phone in public where possible. In public areas, use your phone’s vibrate facility if it has one. You can then assess whether it is safe before answering a call

  • Don’t leave your phone unattended

  • Try not to walk and talk

Beware of mobile phone theives on the London Underground

Mobile phone theft now accounts for around 45% of theft from the person reported on the London Underground.

Mobile phones and their accessories have become increasingly desirable over the last couple of years, especially amongst the young. Phone manufactures have responded with a bewildering array of models and features which are seen by many youngsters as a "must have" item. As a result, mobile phone related crime has become an increasing problem, pushing up the street crime figures in London.

Mobile phone safety tips


In this age of miniaturised technology and state-of-the-art mobile phones with few built in anti-theft devices, we are all responsible for taking precautions

ALWAYS lock the keypad on your phone with a PIN number.

DON'T leave your phone in places where thieves can see it, or use it in places where you think it could be taken.

TRY to mark your phone by writing your home postcode on it using an ultra violet pen. This will help the police to return it to you if it is found.

IF anyone asks to use your phone in an emergency don't give it to them. If necessary you can call the emergency services for them. If the person insists that you hand it over, call 999 and tell the person that you are doing so.
