I do not have an iPhone but I read this with interest and thought that it would be informative to iPhone users: How a brazen passcode thief used stolen iPhones to rob $2 million

Once again, proving the weakest link in security is the user.

Incredible. Successful theft based on people handing their iPhone to a complete stranger and then providing the passcode.
