lol. This is not Hollywood. A phone thief isn't going to be using tape and superglue to find your fingerprint. Do you really want to encourage someone to remove

lol. This is not Hollywood. A phone thief isn't going to be using tape and superglue to find your fingerprint. Do you really want to encourage someone to remove your index finger when they mug you for your phone?
- zimpenfish 12y agoBut is there a single piece of evidence for this ever happening outside of Hollywood?
- noko 12y agoYes. A man had his finger ripped off by a thief stealing his iPad. It was not for the touch ID, but that is beside the point IMO. There have been plenty of incidents where muggers remove fingers to steal rings. I don't think a phone is so different.
- zimpenfish 12y agoHaving looked up this iPad theft, they didn't rip his finger off - the drawstring of his bag got tightly wrapped around his little finger and the force of their grabbing the bag stripped it. An awful thing to happen, sure, but not at all "had his finger ripped off by a thief" - it was a pure accident.
