Hate people who go around stealing other peoples property, no matter what it is.
Never an excuse to do it and those people that do do it, are often the ones that would go mental if it happened to them.
Feel sorry for you, i hate it when i lose an item [from theft or just plain lost it] and lose everything on it that i can never physically get back. Like on my current phone i have pics from my nights out and always puts a smile on my face because you remember those moments.
Priceless moments/memories pics are 
@Damz Find me on the global channel Union Chat. One of the best "chat channels" ingame!
it was a learning experience.
I never thought I'd praise Steve Jobs' tendency to take control away from his customers, but after backing up my new 3GS (if Snatchy McGrab had only waited another month or so i could have got an iPhone4, dammit!), I found about 1700 of the missing photos on it. That wasn't my doing, so i guess at some stage iTunes must have thought "Ooh, photos - I'll have them!" without me realising it.
I'll be kowtowing to Steve's 'I know better' from now on and syncing EVERYTHING to my PC.
What's needed for this sort of situation is a way for a mobile phone user to be able to brick his stolen phone himself, perhaps by sending it an sms with a special code. The guy in my mobile company's shop said he'd blocked the sim so the thief would have to put a new one in to use it for calls etc, but he's still got pictures of me at my mum's barbecue etc.
And, I've just realised, my 'saved at the last level' Phoenix Wright game...gah.
Anyway, Damz, I'd backup those photos somewhere if I were you.

Damn Poland has petty crime too now? I thought it was heavy crime or nothing with them. Human trafficking and child prostitution and so on.
/Sarcasm off.
There was always petty crime in Poland.

On the downside you're stuck using a Blackberry until some kindly hoodlum decides to nick it from you. Although they'll probably be back in a few minutes to return it and point and laugh.

I'm sorry to hear about your run-in, Tig. Crime is never petty to its victim(s).

Makes a change to the Polish coming over here to steal stuff I guess. Saves on the legwork.

My weekend has since turned into a sort of comedy of disasters. I played poker last night, had a great time with my mates but got drunk enough to decide to go cycling at 5am (it was a beautiful day, but still...). On the way back into my flat I dropped my new iPhone 3GS and the display shattered into a web in the manner of a car windscreen that's had a brick thrown at it. it still works, crazily enough (the touchscreen works, swiping and selection of icons etc is fine despite the screen now looking like
lol) but I'll be getting a new one next week.Eco.

Pffft. iPhone. Androids are where it's at.
Get yourself an HTC Desire, my good man. I love mine, and she loves me. The camera's pretty great on it too, I use mine for some Urbex photography of pillboxes, came out peachy.

Never have I loved a piece of technology as I have my Desire. Especially once I found the Marvin app on it and realised I could play Chuckie Egg on the bus at the same time as listening to the radio and flicking over to keep myself up to date with the tennis scores.
The Free National Rail Timetable app too. Simply switch on mobile internet, and just like that you get access to the departure times from the station nearest you, or from any other station, along with real time updates of delays. Supports YouTube and Flash, unlike some phones, and it's just so...
So pretty. So sleek. I never thought I'd want to get a smart phone, until I got one of these.
Lobvly iPhone all fixed now. Happy Eco.

OK, Even a wide-eyed optimist like me suspects that petty crime existed in Poland before this morning, but I've been utterly untouched by it until today.
Some goon ran past the cafe table I was sat at at lunchtime, grabbed my iPhone out of my hand and sped off like the Flash.
It only took me about 45 minutes to get it blocked and buy a new one, and all my apps are of course attainable again, but that's 2000 photos gone west.
I'm more bothered by the fact that my ten-year crime-free record has been broken now thatn because of losing the photos - there weren't any really really vital ones on it. Warsaw's always felt so ludicrously safe and civilised compared to Blighty.
Still, I guess one theft in ten years is still a pretty good average.
