We all know how our
mobile phone insurance is barely worth the paper it is written on and how big a
target smartphones are in the eyes of a pickpocket? Well, a new tool has come
to light that could make finding the phone thief easier than ever before.

TrustGo is a security
app for mobiles and today it introduced a new feature. If somebody puts the
wrong passcode into a handset to unlock it three times, the camera will go off
and take a mugshot of the mug trying to mug you off.
This snap will then be
sent to the email address registered with the app, giving you a full face photo
of whoever was snatching your pride and joy.
Ok, it will then be up
to you to get the Police to pay attention, but no doubt a picture of the perp
will help you on your way.
Of course, we hope you aren't put into the situation where you need to use this app but, if you are, happy snapping!
