Thanks to an app, he recovered his stolen smartphone.

It is a scourge of our society. Smartphone theft in Spain once again reaches records year after year. It is something that we do not give the importance it has until it happens to us. Currently on a phone we save a large part of our lives.

We always advise keeping backup copies of our phones. And of course have always smartphones with an unlock code or pattern. They contain our memories in the form of photos, the pages we visit, our passwords, sometimes even bank details.  

Always use the unlock code to avoid unwanted access.

In many cases the content is much more valuable than the continent. What's in phones is worth much more than the phones themselves. And of course, if we have not kept backup copies, we will lose those special photos forever, or those important notes. Not to mention the damage that access to bank details can do to our pockets.

Fortunately, technology advances in many cases in our favor. There are several applications available in the market to be able to know the location of our lost or stolen devices. And thanks to one of these applications, the police have been able to arrest the alleged perpetrator of a robbery with violence that occurred in a town in Castellón.

According to the complaint filed by the attacked young woman. The 21-year-old assailant assaulted her with a knife and stole her mobile phone. In addition to the phone, she also got a quantity of cash that she carried in her purse. The National Police were able to access the location of the phone and thus arrest the alleged perpetrator.

The police were able to access the photos and locate the author.

Thanks to an application that the young woman had installed on her device, the police located the thief. After using the stolen phone, the application notifies the owner of the phone of the location of the phone. In this way the security forces were able to find the telephone and in turn with the author of the robbery.

In the course of the investigation, and after statements from the owner of the phone, they learned about this application. Through the App installed on the device you can have access to the photos that are taken with it. You can also access the files on the memory card. As easy as it sounds, the agents were able to find out the license plate of a vehicle. And through this to locate an address that was the author of the robbery.

In the town of Almenara, he was located and arrested for the alleged crime of robbery with violence. After his identification and registration of his address, he went to court. And in addition, the mobile phone taken from the young woman was found at the suspect's home. And how much he helped the police to solve the case.

Install an anti-theft application now and protect your data.

It is very encouraging to know that it is really possible to recover a stolen phone. In most cases this does not happen. Good because the thief resets the device by deleting all the apps. Or because the owner does not take the precaution of installing this type of application, whose solvency is amply demonstrated.

But it may happen that we recover our smartphone and that there is no trace of its content. In this case the joy is only half. As we have said, sometimes our phones are much more valuable for what they contain. So, what are you waiting for to install one of these applications?

Thanks to the use of unlock codes or patterns, a stolen smartphone is often useless. Sometimes thieves find it impossible to access the phone. GPS location applications come in handy in case of loss. But in case of theft it is fortunate if the thief does not deactivate this option. In the case of this young woman, the author of the robbery was not so intelligent. AND the union of the police work, the thief's little intelligence and a pinch of luck made the stolen smartphone return to its owner.
