Reminder concerning smart phones while in Brazil

Most of us don't think about bad things while we are in Brazil. I have been lucky during my many trips. The only thing I lost was a cheap cell phone that someone picked from my pocket while I was on the Metro.

However, with so many expensive smart phones in use today, anyone who uses them in public is at risk.

Here is an article that discusses theft and shows that even Brazilians can be targets of thieves.

So, the message is - use your phone but not in an area where you can have it taken from you either with force or grabbed as one runs past you.
