A new survey by Credant Technologies found that Londoners forget over 100,000 mobile phones a year in taxis. The figures are based on interviews with cabbies themselves who reckon that passengers spend up to half their time in the back of the cab catching up with calls or emails.
Also left behind in London’s famous black cabs: a sawn off shotgun, false teeth, artificial limbs, 12 dead pheasants, a casket of funeral ashes and (in one interview I did a few years ago) a bag containing £100,000 worth of diamonds.
With so much personal data being stored on mobile phones, losing one is a potential disaster. It pays to protect your mobile phone.
