"Free cells = less crime"
More than half of the thefts in South Africa are for cellphones, reports News24.com. The Deputy police chief said at a community meeting in Wonderboom, Pretoria, that police were negotiating with suppliers to give cellphones free to counter this crime. He said the cost of the phones could be recovered by increasing call or contract costs. I wonder what people will think of that idea! They should turn to The Netherlands for another solution: "Amsterdam police apparently used "SMS bombardments" very successfully. They bombarded stolen cellphones with an SMS message which said: "This cellphone has been stolen and it's a crime to buy or sell it. - The police." The cellphone can't handle the flood of messages and stops working". And an interesting fact concerning England: A third of all thefts in Britain had been for cellphones. Nearly half of the victims, as well as about 80% of the suspects, had been younger than 18. |
