COMMUNITY BOND
Against phone theft
It is a shame and disappointment that in 2025 London has been labelled the phone snatch capital of Europe.
Sadly things seem to be going backwards instead of forward, we have reached a place were people especially WOMEN do not feel safe in broad daylight with there belongings namely there mobile phones without the fear of having it snatched by a random COWARD /Thief on a bike.
Phones hold a sentimental value, so its not just the phone that is stolen but also the precious memories and personal data, this has to stop Westminster and the West End are hotspots for phone robbery but it is happening all other in various areas of north east west and south.
Robbery is one of the most traumatising and shocking experience a person can have and this must stop, this is a call to let you members of the public know that we are bonding together our resources and people power to eradicate this unsettling behaviour that is upon us all
SAFETY FOR ALL
STOP
