Being mugged really sucks. I wish something serious could be done to stop phone snatching. Why can't phone companies not allow stolen IMEIs to connect?pic.twitter.com/yfwNC7vQ4y

Argh. I'm so sorry that really does suck. Was this near UCL?
Yes. Ensleigh Street. Happened to a few people in this area that I know. Was only a matter of time...
Not it that will necessarily help, but I'm usually wafting my phone all over the place on my way in
I doubt it's the way in. Everybody seems to have it done to them on the way out, evening rush hour.
My advice is, if possible, avoid that bit of campus. But of course if you need to walk to Euston Station I've no idea how you can avoid... So maybe keep phone in your pocket... But I mean, victim blaming is a thing and these people are scum.
