They were near me and I gave them some advice on phones and which ones to steer clear of. The sales guy brought out the boy a blackberry, WHICH HIS PARENTS WERE WILLING TO PAY FOR, he had to of been about 15 or 14 even. He looked so miserable and didn't even want to look at the phone, any of the phones for that matter, and I kept hearing him say all he wanted was his old phone back.
Shortly before leaving I heard his mom say to the sales guy that any phone that he DID liked was going to get stolen because some kids just go after his things in particular and make a point to steal them from him because they like what he has.
What would you do if other kids made a point to try to steal from your kid just because he/she had nice stuff?

It is true. A good phone is asking to be stolen. Give kids a crappy old phone and no one will steal it.
If they want to learn this the hard way, let them buy the expensive phone with their own money.

I would look at whether my kid was flaunting it. Most kids are OK with other kids having more or better but if they have it shoved in their faces then they tend to react.
