Phone stolen in The Plough

[millar]

Tonight while drinking a bottle of red in The Plough, a young guy came in trying to offer customers pamphlets advertising Cabury chocolate. The manager asked him repeatedly to leave with no luck. He then came over to our table, placed them down on top of our things, and asked if we were interested. After being told to go away he picked up the pamphlets, and unbeknownst to us at the time, and iPhone as well. BE CAREFUL!! We were far too relaxed about the situation and wouldn't want it to happen to anyone else.

That must be very annoying, but it's a well established scam.

It is depressing I'll grant you, but it should go without saying that you never valuables on your table.

I saw this happen years ago in a restaurant. Well known method of distraction theft.

Happened to me in Cov Garden some many years ago. Bloody annoying!

Have you tried to trace your iPhone with find my phone app??

What did this guy look like so I can keep an eye out??

To use find my Phone you have to have the app installed on your iPhone. it needs to be switched on and

iCloud needs to be set up and enabled.

Surely the pub has CCTV + the manager would be able to give details to the police as he spoke to the man.

This is known as 'table surfing'

Its always worth ringing the police so that they can get hold of the person at the time and either find anything that doesnt belong to them, find out who they are and hopefuly warn them off

Sorry to hear about this. Between you and the manager, and anyone sitting at your table, you should be able to furnish a decent description so worth reporting it to the police I would have thought.
