Had my phone stolen this afternoon. Came out the shop and a group of lads was crowding the door so you had to push past them. Thought nothing of it until I got home and noticed my phone was missing. Tried ringing it but it has been turned off. Got find my phone but no luck so far.

Welcome to the UK. It's getting worse. Are you insured and did you do a backup recently?
Ray.

If it were an iPhone and you've linked up to iCloud then of course all your info and data can be restored, if you're a dinosaur like boggers not only will you have lost your phone but also your SD card and all your data
Seriously though, sorry to hear your bad news, it's still an inconvenience even if you didnt have much on it

That's awful Joe, you must be really pissed off with that. Sounds like an organised Eastern European trick, although we have plenty of our own scum.
I hope their knobs rot and drop off.

Twatting bad luck Joe. Apparently the scumbags ride about on scooters nicking them out of your hand now as well. That has risen massively I gather as phones become as valuable (more so in some cases) than laptops.

I hope their knobs rot and drop off. I did not want to cast dispersions but yes Jim they were from Eastern Europe. The shop has cctv so Tracy, the manageress will have a look for me in the morning.

Was it expensive Joe, Insurance? You never know the rozzers might find them and you might get it back. Fuckers.

That has risen massively I gather as phones become as valuable (more so in some cases) than laptops. It should be made illegal to walk about talking, texting (or similar) on a mobile, just like it is while driving, keep the phone out of sight and passing scooter riders can't pinch it. Sounds as if they nicked it out of your pocket Joe which probably means they had been watching you to see which pocket you'd put it in.

People get run over, walk into things etc and get their phones nicked when doing the gormless phone walk. Not heard of this one before though. People would be afraid here though if you brought out an iphone and started talking into it or texting. They would assume it was the Devils work and probably club you to death or pitch fork you.

Bit of a result today, my mate phoned up, he had upgraded to a Samsung S10? so going to send me his old one. I have put in a crime report so will contact the insurance when I get a crime number.

That Galaxy I got is superb Joe. Mind you I have never had a massive phone so I have nothing to compare it to.
