It's an interesting discussion. The other factor is if one's phone or other mobile device is stolen then it's not just the hardware that ius lost. If it was not secured with a PIN or password, or was unlocked then there's the possibility of personal (or business) information being lost that could be used for fraudulent purposes. Would a bank, etc consider the owner negligent if subsequently a financial loss occurred?

In the corporate world although some might consider a company that's been hacked and had data stolen or systems damaged a victim of criminals the law (the DPA, GDPRA, etc) says they have an obligation to use reasonable best practice to protect information belonging to others. So if yoiur phone contains, for example, contact details and messages containing personal information about others does one have a moral if not legal obligation to protect those data?
