I'm interested to know other people's experiences. As in any urban environment, I'm careful. I try not to use my phone outside unnecessarily, and if I'm coming home by myself late at night I also keep an eye out for any potential threats. But that doesn't mean I "don't feel safe". It's just sensible. The only time I have ever felt seriously unsafe in London was decades ago when I was a teenager, and that was one specific incident which could have happened anywhere. I do however try to avoid places with loads of right wing thugs getting drunk and waving flags. -
I'm genuinely sorry if I have derailed this thread, which started off as being about a specific burglary in Lacon Road. I will start another thread in the lounge, because I think the general points being discussed are important.

Thanks very much for that. I think the better informed we are, the better our discussions will be. The article contained: "That arrest had quite an impact on the [phone theft] numbers for the following month,” said Green. Here's another indicator, admittedly a piece of police PR, of how well-targeted police efforts, mostly invisible to us, can when successful seriously affect offending figures: https://news.met.police.uk/news/met-police-drive-down-theft-and-robbery-by-84-percent-in-battersea-and-nine-elms-500495.
