I don’t do it 
And I never have had a burglar in my rooms. Same on my car 
I think this is all ‘making panic’. I’m absolute no friend of encrypting the phone. If it’s falling down and the screen is broken (that happens more than the phone gets stolen), I’m (as a advanced user) able to transfer my data to my PC and to my next phone. If the phone is encrypted, I have no chance to do it. That’s only one reason for a none encrypted phone.
EDIT: If I don’t answer back, that is NOT an approval. I’m just out of the mail
