    Makes sense, although at the same time the price of things you buy is based on the cost with theft factored in already. More thefts mean they would have to adjust the calculation and prices go up to cover it. I don’t know how far that goes, 99% theft and the 1% spending £50 on a loaf of bread?

    Part of it depends what someone is stealing, if its a bag of potatoes or some bread, you are probably desperate. If its a 4k TV I don’t have that same sympathy.

    T9 texting also existed, with various levels of success. I remember trying it a bit and it did generally work but at least with the phone I had it was pretty annoying when it didn’t. Should have used the 1 key to toggle T9 on/off and it would have been so much better.

    I have a brick phone now actually and it doesn’t even support T9 texting which is a shame, but I use it so rarely that it doesn’t matter too much. It just exists so that I have a phone because our stupid society requires having a phone number.
