No you’re not lucky. Your items aren’t worth stealing. Rarely does anyone steal android devices, or windows laptops the resale value isn’t there. Which should be obvious to the most casual observer.

Are you suggesting that a thief won't snatch your +$1k Galaxy S23 Ultra because they'll only get $700 instead of $900 for a similarly priced iPhone?

I'm not sure if they're that picky.

I don’t see looters breaking into a Samsung store.

The value is there, but if they're too dumb to loot an Apple store to steal iPhones that will be blocked pretty quickly and don't even run regular software, then maybe we shouldn't expect them to understand the value of phones from other brands either.

I'd expect the HN crowd to be a bit smarter than Apple store looters though.
