Mobile phones have overtaken purses and wallets as the top target for
muggers, new crime figures have revealed.
新出台的犯罪数据显示，手机已经超过钱包跃居小偷的首要目标。
The Crime Survey for England and Wales said cash and wallets had
'consistently been targets for thieves' but the soaring cost of mobile phones had
made them the number one target.
New analysis of the figures, released by the Office for National Statistics this
morning, found gadgets1 like iPhones are stolen in more than half of all
muggings.
The crime survey said the increasing cost of smartphones was making them
'appealing targets for thieves'.
Today's report states: 'As more people carry valuable electronic gadgets,
these too have become desirable targets.
'About half of theft from the person incidents involved the theft of a mobile
phone, where previously2 cash and wallets/purses were most commonly stolen in
this type of crime.'
Sat Navs meanwhile have replaced radios and CDs as the top target in car
crime, according to this morning's official figures.
The report said: 'Theft of electrical equipment such as satellite navigation
systems occurs in about one fifth of incidents of theft from vehicles – a much
higher proportion than ten years ago when more common targets for thieves
were car radios and CDs.'
Computers and jewellery are the most commonly-stolen items in domestic
burglaries.
Laptops, tablets and other home computers were stolen in nearly two fifths
of domestic burglaries.
It said: 'The targeting of high value items was clear in domestic burglary in a
dwelling3 where, after purses, wallets or money, the most commonly stolen items
were computers and jewellery.'
