Swings and round abouts, my other halfs phone was stolen from a secure staff room on her first day in a new job (slightly her fault but her previous employ was such that staff could leave personal items in the staff room without the fear of a thieving scrote) such was the level of security of this staff room, there were two entry pin codes, and cctvs watching you wee.

I digress, her bag was riffled through, they pinched the 40 or 50p in her purse in coppers, and her shiny fruit based mobile telephone. She didnt know her own phone number, so it wasnt until she got home she was able to block it. Then the delightful 02 staff informed her her insurance was basically useless, and to get a replacement she would have to shell out 150 quid. She agreed to this thinking it was the only option - then told me, I went online and found several places selling (3gs ipine) for less than the 150. So shafted paying 7 quid amonth insurance, and then shafted on the unit price of a replacement.

Interesting.
Perhaps the message to take from this thread is to claim that you "lost" your phone even if it was stolen.
