You think I wouldn't notice? It is totally messed up that you take my iphone cables. Sure, your phone's battery is low... Aren't I doing enough by havnig you charge it while in the car?
People really have no idea how many of my cables I got stolen. I lost my own cables the apple brand first few times but now i just get the cheapo ebay brands.

Easy. Get a theft-proof charging cable - https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1881196998/myplug-the-first-theft-proof-charging-cable-ever-m?ref=e4iird
Another impulsive shopping for me. Love the knitnacks on kickstarter.
They do think of everything. People that is.
Looks like it doesn't physically "lock" the cable. It just becomes disabled when people steal it. (per the pin) So it discourages people from stealing it, I guess.
Wouldn't the market have to be educated of such a feature first? I'd think people would take this cable as it looks cool. They'd only know after they took it
Nah. Maybe not at airports, but my riders would definitely know it'd be pin-coded, so they wouldn't take it. that's good. I'd imagine this would also prevent your friends from "accidentally" taking it too.
Better yet have one for yourself and none for them.
It's too late. If I hide it, they now ask. We all collectively set the expectation that we are a bunch of mobile phone charging stations.
Wait, this has really happened to u?! Don't u notice them unplugging the cable?
This is why u always have to check the seat each time a rider leaves the vehicle!
Drivers usually are trained to do this anyways, not to see if your cable is gone but to see if the rider left anything.
With that said, I have had my share of people leave stuff in the back of mine, so I guess I don't follow that procol well either.
You know some of those "cheapo cables" can burn up a phone. Taht's the last time I will use those cables on a uber.
Did not know this.
