Good now If i steal your phone, I can take your identy, SS card, your money, your wifes dirty pictures, your home address, kidnap your pets and hold your left testicle for ransom.
Almost as bad as getting your wallet stolen.
Oh, wait, it's not.
If you steal my phone, I can contact the my mobile provider, give them my password and have them (a) lock the phone remotely and (b) give them my permission to give the exact GPS co-ordinates of the phone to the police. Or to me, if I'm feeling lucky.
Conversely, if you steal my wallet, I'll never see the cash again, my license and other ID will be sold off to the Russian Mafia and I'll wake up one day to find my identity has been stolen and I'm on a no-fly list and wanted for mortgage fraud. Furthermore, my credit cards will be maxed out in a heartbeat (and I'll have to fight to get the charges canceled), and I'll get to spend the next three weeks trying to get all my ID replaced.
