I agree with you Malaika - nothing better than self-defence. The LG idea has merit .. it may not be easy to implement though.

I do not have a first hand experience of the feature (called Mobile Tracker) but it is based on some hardware programming already done in the phone that sends out SMS from the 'new SIM' that the theif (or someone who bought a stolen phone) to a predefined phone number. In that way, you can catch the number that is using the stolen phone. Theoratically, if you know a number doing something illegal (like using a stolen phone), you can locate/reach/deactivate the same if the law and other infrastructure provisions are there and are effective.
