   Oh I'm aware of that.
   I use TracFone so have "limited" time.  And one phone call or website
visit and its turned off.
   And I don't buy the best and the most expensive.  Mine is a run of the
mill iPhone SE several years old.  I don't need a lot of bells and whistles.
   Years ago I went to a St Patrick's day street party.  Several streets in
town were closed off and lots of events, people milling around, etc.
   When I got home I couldn't find my wallet.  I thought I had had my
pocket picked.
   One call to the bank and my cards were stopped.
   The next morning dressing for work I found my wallet in my work pants. 
I hadn't taken my wallet at all.  Boy, did I feel dumb.  But better safe
than sorry.
   Joe
