A new report conducted by mobile security firm Lookout found that the average American loses his/her mobile device once a year, totaling to a combined value of $30 billion in losses for 2011.
The study also found that people in Philadelphia were most likely to lose their handset, that most phones were lost between 9:00 pm and 2:00 am, and people misplace their mobiles most often in coffee shops, bars, and offices.
“Lookout has created an interactive website — Mobile Lost & Found — to show its findings,” reports Digital Trends. “The website displays statistics for other countries besides the U.S. and also gives more information about its methodology.”
“Don’t forget, if you do happen to lose your phone, you can increase the chances of locating it by making sure you have the Find My iPhone app set up (for iPhone users, obviously); Android users, on the other hand, can use Where’s My Droid,” adds the post.
