Just to let you know my phone was taken out of my hand whilst texting on the corner of Conway Road and Woodlands park road yesterday at about 4:15pm. I was in so much shock that I didn't shout or anything: and I couldnt run after the school boy on the bike as I had my baby in the pram.
Just a warning. It's ridiculous I cant bring my phone out to check a message in my neighbourhood. To think that a boy on a bike would have the audacity to do that to anyone in broad daylight.
On a brighter note, the police came very quickly and tried their best to find my phone using the tracker system, but I know I won't be getting my phone back.
This happened to me before a couple years ago in Hackney too..that time it was me on a bicycle, and a moped driving past me to swipe my phone out of my hand.
Me and luck with phones eh.

I'm sorry to hear this happened to you and in your own neighbourhood.
Thanks for the warning to others.
It is such a shame this is happening with increasing frequency.
It's not much but hope let's hope this pulls people together to watch out for each other.
I'm sorry to hear this. Hope you are recovering.
Just to add, my 13 yr old saw the same thing happen to a young man just near the New River Sports Centre last Friday at about 7pm. Unfortunately, it seems to be happening more frequently.
