I suddenly don't feel so alone and stupid any more.

It seems that I'm not the only one who loses a cell phone every six months or so.

A new report from Credant Technologies states that 31,544 mobile phones were lost, at least for awhile, after being left in the back of New York and London yellow cabs just in the first six months of this year.

That's a lotta phones. Miraculously three quarters are reunited with owners (the survey doesn't indicate what happened to the remaining 8,000 handsets .... did I hear someone say eBay?)

The figure averages to two per taxi, and doesn't even include 2,752 other mobile devices such as laptops, iPods and those tiny memory sticks we all love to use.

The reason the devices go missing?
