The second time was more traumatic, as I was followed for a few streets before he announced the robbery, which actually happened in front of my house.

Another traumatic factor was that the phone was new, and I had only paid the first installment. I had to pay another nine installments without using the device.

Well, at the time I was robbed, there was no government app that blocks stolen cell phones, Secure Cell Phone.
