Mind your tablet

The number of mobile phone thefts on London's rail network and Underground has fallen by more than 80 per cent in the past five years, new figures show. That's the good news. The bad news is that the number of Kindles and tablet computers stolen from passengers has risen. Some 140 Kindles were stolen in 2013-2014 compared with three in 2009-2010. The number of tables stolen rose from 13 to 637 last year.
