Attempted Phone robbery today

[LordNelson]

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!

You should have given him a swift shove and then stomped on his brainless head!

Common technique amongst theiving scum. Sometimes there are two of them. Do not use phones on the street.

I still reserve the right to do so - when I so feel.

IOS7 will brick it properly if stolen I hear.

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.

And because people think you are talking to yourself, they assume you are a nutter and leave well alone. :)
