Comment on Thieves snatched his phone in London, UK - it was in China a month later

Stories like this make me glad I’m not one of those people glued to my phone 24/7.
It’s way harder to snatch it when it’s in your pocket.
But the fun of these stories is when someone writes an article about the thieves trying to sam the victim into giving up their codes. That’s always amusing.
Pickpockets have been a thing throughout all of human history. The key is to understand your surroundings and be aware of what you can do to minimize your risk.
But hey, continue to be a smug asshat who finds amusement in people being coerced by thieves.
To be clear: I 100% don’t think people should be able to enjoy their things without being robbed, public or no.
I’m not amused, just glad I have different habits.

Yeah, let’s blame the victim.

Fair point.
Let me be perfectly clear that I think you should be able to look at your phone 24/7 without getting robbed.
Still glad I don’t, though.
