Don't worry. Anyone with a decent taste in technology would not steal your phone.

Having your phone stolen or lost is inevitable, I would advise a phone insurance for this matter.

Sign up for apple's find my iphone application, incase its stolen and you have active net you could track it and remote lock or wipe the device. Even sound an alarm.
Its a bad luck to get 4 phones stolen, I know how it feels, I had one of my phone stolen too all because i tried helping out a kid who was a thief. But being a bit careful and using common sense should hopefully prevent it unless its a forced/armed robbery. If you do hangout in areas where there are high chances of getting it stolen, use a spare phone like low end nokia phone which you get for like 40$?

Don't use ur iPhone in packed areas like towns etc are these area's are prone to have theives about,
also keep it in ur jacket and not a bag, people who go about showing of there devices are prone to this problem
but with a little bit of common sense you will be fine!
I haven't got insurance on my iPhone not had a phone stolen at all!
also for phone insurance I recommend you phone ur network provider as they can help you there with that

Just keep your eyes and wits about you. I have insurance but that's for peace of mind as sometimes accidents happen too. If you're going to use your phone in a busy place just don't flash it loud and text walking with your eyes down. You won't see anyone coming its happened to me and I have learnt. Although I once had a phone stolen from my work place by a so called work mate. It was the old Nokia 3210
He was sacked and later went on to become a policeman(probably a bent copper) I keep my phone in my inside jacket pocket or jeans pocket NOT my back pocket or side jacket pocket where people can slide it out your pocket or it could fall out. Also don't hang out with dick heads you can't trust. Don't put your phone down on a table in public whilst eating or in a pub. @chunkybeats classic answer
Who'd wanna steal an iphone?? In UK now you can get 5 years if stealing a phone the law changed.

I think it's just a matter of luck, thieves are desperate and they can pull impossible stunts just to illegally acquire your beloved gadget once they had their eyes on it, but that doesn't mean you should just let your device get stolen and buy another. Experience told me that it is always good to have a backup (preferably cheap) phone for use in crowdy areas to avoid attracting attention. though I must admit it'll violate your right to turn people's heads
Apologies for the pun-intended post I made earlier
