iPhone Stolen on Brussels Metro: A Cautionary Tale for Travelers

A young woman, Mathilde, recently experienced a frustrating incident during a weekend trip to Brussels. While riding the metro, she had her iPhone stolen from her bag. "I felt a nudge," Mathilde recounted, "and ten seconds later, my phone was gone." The theft left Mathilde distraught, not only because of the loss of the device itself, but also because of the irreplaceable personal photos and work-related documents that were stored on it and not backed up to iCloud. The incident serves as a reminder to travelers to remain vigilant about their belongings, especially in crowded public spaces.
