Stay alert of what is going on around you when using your phone in public

Keep a record of your phone's unique reference number (IMEI) - to get this dial #06#
Always use your phone's security lock or PIN number
Don't leave valuable items unattended on a train when you visit the toilet or buffet car
If you are going to fall asleep do not leave valuables in view, keep them hidden
