What? most of the time they couldnt give a damn what you have, they just want whatever it is.

If you look like the sort of person who they can mug, they will mug you.

Being small doesn't bod well then

What kind of area was it where you got mugged OP? City type area? Bit rough? Or a semi-rural area?

or are you one of these that live there lives via forums, twitter and facebook ?

No, i go out almost everyday with my mates. It took place behined Trafalgar square so cameras may have seen it. Im only 16 whereas they looked much older and TBH im not very well built in terms of muscle. I didn't want the police to get involved over such a small case regarding ipod headphones but now i know i should have at least reported it. Im just the quiet type that don't want to be involved in big issues.

Edit: yes i do still have my phone =]

you have had something taken from you and you were assaulted.

Not reporting things like this is what makes the police think they're doing a good job, it shows a drop in crime which is good for them but bad for everyone else. report it no matter how small you think it is

Mate this robbery, plain and simple. Its not a small case by any means

Report it before more people get mugged by the same gang

I got my mate to go on contract while i pay him. I'll ring up the police in a bit and report it then.

I am quite taken aback when a textbook street robbery is reported on an internet forum not long after it happened and not the police.

Morba · 2 Aug 2009 at 20:09

lol. unfortunately many parents will buy contract phones for their children.

Glaucus · 2 Aug 2009 at 20:13

sorry to here this and get down the ****** police station. even if there was not cctv of the incident you might be able to identify them from CCTV in the area. They might seriusley hurt someone next time.

dr4g0nf1y · 2 Aug 2009 at 20:14

All I'm getting at is that it was probably best to just give them the phone.

Don't be silly. Its far better to be beaten / stabbed then have the phone taken from you.

It's quite amusing though

It would be if the situation wasn't so serious. I have seen people beaten to within an inch of their lives for not much more than a few quid.

"So my next door neighbours house is on fire, I think they might be trapped in there, not sure if I should report it though"

Is it wrong that I laughed at that ? :/
