Brits warned of their on-the-street value

Britons are walking the streets with an average value of £851 ($1,600) in their possession, new research by Zurich Insurance reveals, reports QCK.com.

"Zurich Insurance has warned British consumers that their expensive gadgetry and designer clothing could increase the risk of them becoming a victim of crime.

The company highlights the fact that there was an eight per cent rise in street crime in 2005 - the Home Office suggested that the increase in mobile phones and MP3 players was part of the reason for this. "
