London

Saw another person get their phone snatched by two kids on bicycles today in the City. 

Third one I’ve seen on Sunday evening around the same area (Aldersgate/Barbican/Moorgate)… keep your phones in your pockets if you’re walking around these parts on quiet evenings.

Someone (bytebot, you might know him not sure if he’s here) told me they just sell it for components

Two.hands.always.

BTW, tin foil hat time: why do kids steal phones anyway? Most have either tracking or can be remotely bricked. Jailbreaking isn’t what it used to be.

I wonder if this is only a weekend thing? It’s normally so busy around all those areas during the week that I can’t imagine it happening without it causing a big scene - But on a quiet evening in town, I can picture it!

Normally around that area weekly!
