LordNelson Posted June 18, 2013 Share Posted June 18, 2013 A guy on bike, cycling quite slowly towards me on the pavement on Blenheim Grove, tried grabbing my iphone as he passed. It was at 12.30 today and there was no one else about. He had his hood up and head down but I didn't realise what he was planning till it happened. So, watch out if you see anyone behaving like this and don't have smart phones on show!

uncleglen Posted June 18, 2013 Share Posted June 18, 2013 You should have given him a swift shove and then stomped on his brainless head! Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/33378-attempted-phone-robbery-today/#findComment-655153 Share on other sites More sharing options...
UncleBen Posted June 18, 2013 Share Posted June 18, 2013 Common technique amongst theiving scum. Sometimes there are two of them. Do not use phones on the street.

DJKillaQueen Posted June 19, 2013 Share Posted June 19, 2013 I use headphones if I take a call on the street. Then I can keep the phone in my pocket with my hand on it. Makes it much harder to steal.
