Welcome to Out Of Your Hands?
Out of Your Hands is brought to you by MICAF (Mobile Industry Crime Action Forum), the Home Office and the National Mobile Phone Unit, to aid in educating young people about the dangers surrounding mobile phone theft. This website primarily contains information for teachers and downloadable curriculum resources, but there is also information about MICAF and guidance information for parents.
The good news is that mobile phone theft has reduced year on year, and there are over 19 million people using the free and secure website - www.immobilise.com which has greatly assisted in these reductions. This service allows you to be PROACTIVE and register the details of your mobile phone and / or other possessions on a secure website. In the case of theft or loss, this information is then available to help police investigate the crime. The disabling of a mobile that has been lost or stolen is greatly assisted using the service - 80% of stolen phones are disabled on all UK networks within 48 hours of their theft being reported to the network provider.
