Whenever you see someone desperate or complaining in the train because he or she just found out that the wallet has got stolen, you feel pity and sorry for them, but deeply inside, you are glade that it didn't happen to you!
The percentage of people who got robbed in the Tube is really high, and it grows constantly every year, even if there are security cameras in the stations and even if the kind and caring voice at the microphone keep on reminding us to look after our belongings and to report strange behaviors.
All this stuff didn't seem to work in December 2009, when I got robbed at King's Cross.
It was a shining and happy Saturday afternoon when I had the brilliant idea not to close my bag with the zip and to take the Tube, which was particularly overcrowded.
I know, I was stupid and, as prize for my lack of carefulness, I won a trip to the Kentish Town police station to make a report; it was my first time in a police station, unforgettable.
I am smiling in this pic, but actually it's just because the sun was right in my eyes...trust me, I wasn't having fun at all....
I know it's sad to say, but theft is something that all the London Underground passengers have to go through sooner or later.
Anyway...be on your guard...
I think my mum's handphone was stolen somewhere... Can't remember. But yea usually in the tube you are too tired/distracted by the crowd to look after your belongings...
