When I go to the mall or even walk around certain neighborhoods I make sure I got it put away so no one robs me for it... It's a big thing over here in RI its crazy, happens all the time. Its not just the LX anymore, its the Iphone too. If you got a nice phone in your hands and you get caught with it, you're gonna get robbed for it. its crazy.

Now i dont even let people kno i have a sidekick (As much as i would like to). after having 4 SK 3s, and 2 LXs… im making my 2008 the last sidekick i get for a while. i dont want to get robbed anymore.

same thing happened to me this past summer, but in my sitch. there were 2 really tall guys and they ‘attempted’ to take my lx at gun point. i was going to my summer job, and i heard them walking up behind me, and one of the idiots tried to grab it off of my hip, but i pushed his hand away (natural reaction), and the other one tried to scare me with his gun…….that remained in between his jeans throughout the entire 4 minute ordeal. i had gotten it for my birthday, (waited over a year and a few months) and it just so happened that i was bored with it, and wanted to exchange it for blackberry curve. it was the very last day for me to return it, when they tried their ignorant plot. i know it wouldve been stupid to die for a phone, but wtf! c’mon, u shell out the cash to pay for these expensive items and then to have someone steal it??!?!? ugh, total bullsh*t

For the record I have an LX but for some people the Slide is better, it's a matter of preference. In any event maybe the Slide is more popular a theif's target because it's rarer being discontinued and all? Just a thought....

Don't forget pay phones are not as ubiquitous as they once were, so I wouldn't be so quick to call her stupid. However, I do think she should write a stern letter to T-Mobile and I also hope she reported the incident to the police so that she has some kind of documentation that she was a victim of a crime.

No .there is a new invention in most civilized parts of the United States called “pay phones” (which is why I mentioned the call to customer service is free ~and DUH). To be 10+ hours from a pay phone she would have had to have been stranded on the island from Lost or something. Give me a break, she should have had to pay more for being that stupid. Ten again it’s obvious IQs have droped a LOT in recient years. Still it’s no excuse.
