My mother always told me, that every time I go out , she is warned me that don't bring cellphone because she think that having a cellphone can make me in danger. She said that because our neighbor died just because of the cellphone. The thief killed our neighbor in order to get the cellphone. and plenty of cases like that in our country. For me, If someone steal my cellphone in the street I better give it freely and I didn't fight for it to avoid my life at risk. How about you? do you believe that we are in danger always?

While it may put you in danger, it will also save you in times when you would need it most. Just be cautious when using it in public places. Like when you're riding jeepneys, refrain from using celphones, because you don't know if one of the passengers has the motive of finding victims. He might follow you and attack you when he finds the right time.

Yeah lark. Having a cellular phone is always have the advantages and disadvantages of it. But, I think, it is ourself who can beware of this kind of situation if we know when we use and bring our cellphone. But for me, I didn't use my cellphone in a crowded place because that's the reason why the other people think bad. Well, thanks for sharing your comments with us and have a nice day ahead Godbless

When You read articles about kids being mugged because they were wearing expensive sports shoes,or readily identifiable Ipod Headphones,and see surveys that estimate the high value of the gadgets we carry around with us,Your Mother may have a point...To avoid this,You could get into the habit of not flashing your expensive "must have" stuff and gadgets in areas where there was a known risk when you go out,or change the headphones to a more generic type..but the whole point of having these things in the first place is for the Bling factor..they are made to be seen and noticed..of course,if you DO have to have these items,you DO have the insurance paid up in case it would get broken or lost,right?

Yeah, you are right shepherd. to avoid this to happened to us, we need tp be extra care to our things and to your life because the reports and the news I've heard that lots of people risk their life because they are fighting for their things that thieves steal. life is important , if they steal your things go on, don't thin that you want to get it back so that you didn't risk your life. you can buy those things again after all but your life can't buy. Well, thanks for sharing your comments with us and have a nice day ahead Godbless
