Mobile Theft Prevention Campaign
More than 4,000 mobile phone users are being sent a special text message by West Yorkshire Police, urging them to advise their operator immediately if their phone is stolen to stop it from being used again, according to The Huddersfield Daily Examiner. The Government funded initiative means to tackle street crime and runs alongside an advertising campaign targeting phone thieves. Related initiatives around the world have been aimed at the thieves rather than the general public in a preventive way. Chinese officials, hoping to drive cell phone thieves crazy, send them a barrage of text messages, urging them to give themselves up to the police. And the Amsterdam police sent out SMS messages every three minutes to stolen cell phone numbers, saying: "This cell phone has been stolen. To buy it or sell it is a crime. The Police." cf SMS, a new weapon used by the police |
