dulwichgirl2 Posted September 18, 2012 Share Posted September 18, 2012 Becsbex, well said. Thank goodness someone has the guts to say it - we are not at fault in wanting to walk home and chat. They are for wanting to steal instead of, presumably, working for money. Furthermore if they are on benefits, we fund them. It's disgusting. Talking of guts thought, Louisa, wow! Good for you. Not recommended but I think it would have been my natural response too. "oi you little xxxxx".

Huguenot Posted September 19, 2012 Share Posted September 19, 2012 It was a general point about phones in use rather than the iPhone. Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/25635-phone-taken-on-adys-road/page/2/#findComment-578615 Share on other sites More sharing options...

RobMiller Posted September 22, 2012 Share Posted September 22, 2012 I saw a good tip about locking location services (which means that a stolen device can't have the 'find' facility easily switched off): http://ipadinsight.com/ipad-tips-tricks/how-to-make-it-more-difficult-for-a-thief-to-turn-off-location-services-on-the-ipad/Still, that doesn't help if they switch it off...[Edited to clarify: "it" being the phone.] Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/25635-phone-taken-on-adys-road/page/2/#findComment-579587 Share on other sites More sharing options...
