He can't be Australian, some guy called him a toff earlier in the thread!

Edit: Although, he talks about maths? He must be a toff then, he's clearly educated.

Good Lord. If I had coffee right now I'm sure it would have been all over my desk.

Same old, people are SO soft these day, they are too scared to stand up like people have SUDDENLY got more viscous, all people do now is just ring 999 and expect them to do the job.

Hence these people will carry on just taking the ******, its not that it was an armed robbery which you would step back from, it was just some guy nicking a phone while another shouted for about 5 minutes, maybe he should carry a whistle so the police in Victorians times could hear him.

Laughable, I have saved people from being smashed in from fights, one was two blokes fighting and one went down and the other guy kept on punching him and a girl joined in and dug her heels into his head so I just launched in and we were all rolling around, broke the fight up and sent the lad on his way, sorry but I just cant stand by and watch.

Yeh, broken Britain innit.

Sounds like Will from the inbetweeners for sure! Absolute scum-bag though. Desire to hit him must have been overwhelming.

Excellent

Considering the video/photo has pretty much gone viral now it's only a matter of time before this idiot gets identified.
That's the problem for scumbags like this as they would most likely have a que of people that they have mugged off in the past and who are more than happy to shop them :-)

I am the first person to shout Stand and Bang, and I would have done had I witnessed the event, but I do not blame the person at all for not doing so and the people saying he should have beaten him up and saying nasty things about the person who filmed it are pathetic and really really stupid.

Sorry, but wtf is "Stand and Bang" ?

It sounds vaguely homoerotic.

Bang you out, mate.

dav3evans · 10 Feb 2012 at 16:44

I can't believe that the guy just wandered up and took it like that... Scrawny little spit ****. I'd have tried to prise it out of his hands.. if that didn't work I would have kept hold of his bike =P

bushmins · 10 Feb 2012 at 17:13

I'd have put an arrow in his knee.

It's colloquial for "I think I'm hard as nails but really I'm just a keyboard warrior who has watched too many movies involving Vin Diesel"

NeilMick · 10 Feb 2012 at 17:39

That guy deserves a punch in the face.

Would have been ok many years ok, but not now.

TNGL · 10 Feb 2012 at 17:51

He would've got more respect had he beaten the crap out of him, and taken the phone back off him.

For those who don't want to watch the video here is a tl;dr.
Women was sick and had to leave the phone. This guy watched her bags and answered the phone to a friend and told her that he was going to hand the bag into lost property at the next station. This cheeky kid went up to her bags that the guy was watching and rummaged through it taking her iphone.
This where it was posted

Likely to be located in Waybridge area and perhaps a member of a local college.

I would have forced the phone off him and decked him one. Jeeze i'm really supressed the guy filming didn't!!

problem is that there are cameras on the train and you would end up in court.

This! Keep hold of his bike, swap for phone, put phone back in bag.

Simples!

who? the thief or the guy filming it?

gets asked to watch the bags and he agrees to and just lets some guy steal a phone from them? he's as bad as the guy stealing it, why didn't he just sit with the bags protecting them? :confused:

Housey · 11 Feb 2012 at 13:56

This will end up being some viral for telephone insurance in the end....

bhavv · 11 Feb 2012 at 14:46

FFS why are there still so many people on this forum that write 'should have, could have, and would have?'.
