£2.6 billion of mobile phones stolen in UK according to CheckMEND
According to CheckMEND, the stolen property checking service there is an estimated £2.6 billion worth of stolen mobile phones being offered for sale online in the UK. CheckMEND data is used thousands of times every week to check on the legitimacy of property by the majority of police forces in the UK.
This criminal problem is being made worse due to “faceless” selling on the growing range of online classified and auction websites and the new trend of “Market Places” on social networks much like Facebook.
CheckMEND say of all the enquiries which were carried out over the past eighteen months, 67 percent, which in number terms equates to a huge 6,700,000, were to check on the IMEI number of a mobile handset; quite staggering really.
With the ongoing credit crunch obviously having an adverse effect on family coffers, many in the UK are intently on the lookout for that bargain that will save them a wad of cash or are simply clearing out their years of clutter to sell online, while some are fuelling the demand for low price stolen goods.
Since its launch back in 2006, CheckMEND has carried out 10 million checks with the most common item being the mobile phone. Other items CheckMEND has carried checks out on are iPods, Laptops, PCs, bikes, TVs, cameras and games consoles.
Managing Director of CheckMEND, Adrian Portlock states: “It is beginning to be understood that this system allows the police to identify stolen consumer goods quickly and easily, and exposes buyers to possible confiscation of the property and prosecution.”
Ever lost a mobile phone, or had one stolen? Ever managed to get it back? I wonder what the figure on returned stolen property actually is.

No More Free Nintendo WiFi at McDonald’s
McDonald’s no longer offering free WiFi to DS users, notes Engadget. Apparently the contract that enabled the access has expired, and there’s no signs of a renewal happening in the US or Canada. Nintendo’s Wi-Fi hotspot locator backs up that claim (despite outdated text claiming “more than 6,000 partner hotspots”).

The Apple iPhone is the CSI Phone on TV at least
We all watch TV at least occasionally, and many brands of items flow across out small screens, so how many times have you noticed an Apple iPhone in a TV program? Mostly everyone knows the Apple iPhone is a nifty tool, but just hoe nifty has it become?
Well it seems the Apple iPhone is certainly nifty enough to be used by crime scene investigators, well at least in the TV show CSI: Las Vegas!
If you watch CSI: Las Vegas and watched episode twelve of season eight, episode named Grissom’s Devine Comedy, any have a good eye for product placement you may have noticed one of the CSI’s, Catherine Willows, using an Apple iPhone to snap images of the crime scene and then sending on to Gil Grissom, the head investigator who happens to be down with a touch of the flu so can’t attend the crime scene in person.
Whether this would actually be considered in real crime scene investigation is another matter. It would seem the convenience of quickly and easily snapping photos and then e-mailing them on the spot may out beat the fact that the Apple iPhone only houses a 2 megapixel camera, but then again maybe this was only product placement.
The real question that springs to mind is whether the Apple iPhone, or any other mobile phone with a camera for that matter, be actually authorised for police or a crime scene investigator to you as a tool? What are your views, do you think the law enforces use their mobile phones to capture evidence?
