Sad ya even have to think about what your doing with something as common as using a phone. But anyone that lives in a major city and has to roll on a public bus/train or walk through certain areas kinda gotta use street smarts/city sense.
I've never left Chicago and I've never been robbed/mugged etc... so it's kinda like my antivirus system is on full guard and all strangers are scamming cocksuckers until they prove their not. Where a tourist might have their guard down thinking life is all butterflies and rainbows until their at the police station reporting a theft. Gotta adapt your defense to your surroundings as major cities are more fun, more to do etc... but attract a good handful of scamming assholes as well as there is more prey for them to choose from so it's easier to pick a weaker victim.

Well said, and I quite agree.
In London, Ontario we had a young guy who lost his cell in a taxi but he'd installed a tracking app. He was able to trace the phone to a parked car with three people in it at a plaza. When he approached the vehicle, they shot and killed the kid...then took off.
Story
Moral to the story - even with a tracking app installed...unless you're Chuck Norris it's not always a good idea to go looking for it yourself. As reluctant as I am these days to get cops involved in anything...it's your safest bet.
