I often hear everywhere that phones are easily stolen in London, especially they do not recommend walking with a phone in hand. I have an acquaintance in England, a couple of guys in black masks just approached him and told him to hand over the phone. Have there been any other such cases and are the advices to hide the phone better actually real?
It is so
The police will not help
This happens all the time, it's just that many people try not to remember and not to talk about such a sad experience.
For me, in 2 years and a bit, I have had zero similar situations. Although, when I'm outside, I always have my phone in hand.
We also didn't know about such a problem for two years.
Good evening! I highly recommend taking out your phone only in a safe place. If you need to plan a route, check your route, take a call, it's better to go somewhere else. Be especially cautious of cyclists.
Understood, thank you very much!
Yes. Protect your phones

Depends on the city and district. I haven't encountered this yet.
@Natasha: They specifically asked about London. In London, this is an unpleasant but familiar everyday occurrence. Moreover, if the attempt by the robber fails (phone on a chain or a case with a special ring), it's better to try to hide in a safe place immediately. There is a high probability of a threat with a knife.
