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.

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.

tech vs. absurd – You're not real – /sauce – /cto

It's not kids. It's part of the supply chain of organized crime. These phones are often sent abroad to be unlocked and sold.

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