Who steals people's used notebooks? Or new ones?
Your nice bag or backpack gets lost or stolen with a notebook among all other things you put in there. You can replace a phone, a driver license, but you cannot replace priceless imprint of your own thoughts and memories lost forever.
If needed, I keep scans of my handwritten notes that are difficult to retype. And then backup, backup, backup ...
However...
Like psyc, I still have notebooks around from my teenage years. What I no longer have are the recordings from my piano compositions from that same period.
I did lose one notebook once. It had my email address in it, and the finder contacted me. Somehow, the handover failed. I was angry, but in all honesty, it hasn't affected my life a bit.
