Tmobile will tell you what you need to do.

Just get a crime reference number and talk to your insurers. I claimed without having to prove I'd been pickpocketed. Sorry to hear that. Just get a crime reference number and talk to your insurers.

I went back to using an old, old Nokia brick, partly to make it unattractive to steal. And, its not just London, its right across the UK. My nephew has been mugged twice, son's shop held up etc etc Sorry to hear about the 'phone. I went back to using an old, old Nokia brick, partly to make it unattractive to steal.

It sounds like you've been unlucky crime-wise. In 15 years in London I only personally knew one person who was mugged - though I suppose I witnessed and was aware of other nasty stuff, including my partner having her bag stolen in a pub. I sympathise with you for being 'stuck' in London. Work reasons (working in the voluntary sector/peace/anti-nuclear) meant it was hard to go anywhere else easily - and that kept me there longer than I'd have chosen. It was having kids that provided the final impetus to go - moving to Dorset, to join the police ironically enough. Still, I miss the galleries, the shops, the 'culture' and the ability to cycle anywhere I wanted relatively quickly and safely - which I certainly can't do in Dorset. So enjoy the benefits while you stay. Oh - by the way, being spat at is definitely an offence. It is an assault, usually classified as 'assault by beating', although I know that doesn't sound right. Also, it can yield good DNA evidence for obvious reasons - so can be quite detectable! Sorry to hear about the phone. It sounds like you've been unlucky crime-wise.

I really hope that the insurance works out. I would like to say though, that my experience is, at these times that insurance don't kick in.. there's always a but somewhere and you are stuck.. Thomas' ( my boyfriend) scooter was stolen this may, and it was just incredible, it was stolen from a locked garage outside our house -and our own insurance wouldn't cover it because it was stolen inside a locked garage.. and the complex would cover it because they didn't have a "housing insurance" - meaning that it covers all the stuff that is not in the actual appartment ( but inside the complex though) hence should also cover his scooter. anyway his scooter was found, but I got more and more enraged by being thrown around like a ball than being mugged... I hope your story is different... however I have completely lost faith in insurance cases ... as far as London goes, yes it has changed a lot, even though I miss living there sometime, I feel more safe and sound in surburbian Denmark I feel so sorry for you. seriously, there's nothing worse than having things stolen from you.

Like you say , the thief is unlikely to get any benefit from it at all. You are not spoilt! It is a personal attack and it makes you feel vulnerable as well as pissed off. A friend of a friend once got to the checkout in a supermarket and realised that she had had her handbag stolen. Do you know what the girl on the till said? "Are you going to pay for this shopping?"

I've seen phone-jackings happen in broad daylight--from cafe tables and while people walk outside government buildings in Dublin. Now I know how many of the boot sales have inexpensive phones on offer. Sad to hear about your stolen phone.
