How is it ridiculous, they've literally had to paint lines on the streets warning people not to walk in them with their phones out as they're likely to get snatched, 100,000 were stolen last year, its a whole industry
I walked through London West End yesterday with my phone out.  It wasn't snatched.  It would appear that it can be done.

As a blanket statement for London, it's ridiculous. Obviously everyone exercises some care in certain areas which are rough or tourist hotspots or late at night but a bit of common sense goes a long way. It's hardly any different to most other big global cities.

Looks like something he’d need.
I was worried we'd sign him this summer- sort of player who is right up Sullivan's alley. Cheap and 'experienced' and a free agent.

Obviously he wouldn't need a hairdresser or barber.
