Phones hold personal data and are costly to replace. Some people believe in the kindness of strangers — others, not so much. What would you expect if you lost yours in public?

“Yes. I’d trust the good Samaritan — there are still honest, kind-hearted people in the world. Sometimes, faith in humanity pays off.”
Gerhard de Wet, Thabazimbi 
“No – but with significant reservations. While I’d like to believe a stranger would do the right thing, the personal data on my phone is too sensitive to risk. Trusting someone I don’t know… It’s a gamble I’m not willing to take when it comes to my privacy and security.”
Pennelope Musadavira, Thabazimbi
