![]() I might seems so, but do not forget that if whole bag is stolen, or valet, then most probably thief will have info of the birthdate, house address or age as well, and that will be one of the first thing he will try to use as PIN. ID cards usualy have that info, and you carry IDs with you.

An easy way is to fudge an easy to remember date add (or subtract) 1111 to the date. The 1111 can be replaced with 2222 or 1234 or 4321, endless possibilities to fudge an easy to remember number. Such would make it easy to remember the number, but make it far more difficult for a thief. They would have to try the 9,999 different possible pin numbers, unless they knew the method you used to fudge it.

![]() Yes, Android have possibility to remotly wipe the data, but it needs to be activated as a security feature from the first place, which most of the people does not do. In order to download data from Google account then you suppose to put all pictures and other personal stuff to Google and not on SD card, which is not some people like to do, espacialy in these days when privacy is "on sale" if not taken good care of.

![]() "Any blocked/no service phones for sale?"
![]() I've been watching social media (together with friends and family lol) for anything of interest re this theft and the advert quoted above recently came to light. I'm not very savvy about mobile phones so the advert raises the question in my mind as to how a mobile phone could legitimately meet the requirements of such an advert. Anyone got any ideas? ![]() |
