Stolen mobile
My mobile phone was stolen this week and I am really annoyed.
I had just got off the bus I had taken from Liverpool Street to Holborn, on the way to my Spanish class. I had been checking my text messages on the bus and (I think) I remember putting it in the front pocket of my rucksack.
Outside Sainsbury’s in Holborn, I waited to cross the road. I felt someone brush against me but didn’t think anything of it - it was rush hour and there were lots of people around.
Once across the road, I went to look at my phone to check the time. I took the rucksack off my back and then I noticed that the front pocket was open. My phone was gone.
I’m sure I didn’t leave it on the bus, and I don’t think it fell out of my bag - I would have heard it. I think that the person who brushed against me at the crossing pickpocketed me as I waited to cross the road. The bastard!
More than anything I am upset about the fact that on the phone was a recording of my nephew from about a year ago. He has grown up so much since and now sounds completely different. I’ve also lost loads of people’s numbers. Plus I’ve got to buy a new phone, as I didn’t have any insurance. All very inconvenient.
I just hope that whoever took it feels at least a little bit guilty.

Oh no! I feel your pain, SG, I just lost my beloved pink phone after it broke and won’t go back on again. That means I’ve lost all my videos of my kitten when he was newborn, when he was really really small
he’s never going to look like that again, and he’s grown up so much since. It’s not fair.
And the effing cheek of people who pickpocket. It disgusts me. My dad was in Marks and Sparks trying on a new jacket, he hung his own jacket on the rail while he tried on a new one, his phone was in the pocket. Along came a man in a wheelchair, pushed by a woman. Next thing dad knows, his phone is gone.
And then a few months later we read in the newspaper about an ex convict who’d been put back in prison after being caught pickpocketing. He’d committed some sort of crime a few years before, fell and was put in a wheelchair. Since then him and his partner (the woman that had been with him) had been using the wheelchair to their advantage…
Makes me sick.
In other news, I just bought myself an LG Chocolate phone to replace my pink Nokia (I wasn’t insured either) and it was only £50…
