Atlanta, GA (PRWEB) September 22, 2012

A recent survey commissioned by gadget insurance brand, Protect Your Bubble, shows that roughly 13 percent of those surveyed admitted that they’ve had at least one of their gadgets stolen.

Here’s the breakdown:

•     4% theft from pick pocketing
•     3.5% theft from the beach
•     3% theft from a restaurant
•     2% theft while sightseeing

According to USA Today, Americans lost about $30 billion worth of mobile phones in 2011. Protect Your Bubble’s claims data reveals that the majority (76 percent) of policy holder's reported claims are related to loss or theft. Since the announcement of iPhone 5, ProtectYourBubble.com has seen a 50 percent increase in mobile gadget policies and that number is expected to grow.

“Thousands of people have had expensive items stolen while traveling” said Stephen Ebbett, president of Protect Your Bubble, “And more often than not their gadgets are uninsured or under insured. Technology is no different than cash for a criminal, and the more we take with us, the more likely we are to see technology theft increase.” And with the survey showing more than 80 percent now take a smartphone and/or tablet while on vacation, forgetting to arrange specific insurance could be a serious mistake.
