It reminds me of that joke: "A pedestrian gets knocked down every thirty seconds on our roads and he's getting pretty fed up about it". When I read "Thieves steal a mobile phone every 12 seconds in Britain", I have this ridiculous vision of hordes of thieves all wrestling one another to try and steal the same phone.

Good vision.
