Rethinking my move to NYC if I can't even walk down the street with my phone (which I often do just in case I need to call someone quickly).

 

[Cat piss martini]

I am a woman. I recently moved to NYC. Now that it's fall, I often return home from the office after dark.

Virgin mobile offers the following phones.
--Samsung Victory (has a big screen, is about 5.5" long)
--Samsung Galaxy S III (has a big screen, is about 5.5" long)
--LG Optimus F3 4G LTE (It is VM's only 4G android phone with a small-ish screen.)
I will buy one of these soon, maybe.

problem:
Lately, someone in Harlem has been lurking at night, running up to women with late-model Samsung phones (big screens), punching them DEAD IN THE FACE, and running off with the phone. It happened on my street in front of my building 2 months ago.

QUESTIONS:
--If you were a slender, small-framed woman walking alone after dark in Harlem, would you feel comfortable talking on a late-model, big-screen Samsung?
If you were a slender, small-framed woman riding the NYC subway in Harlem at any time of day or night, would you feel comfortable browsing the internet on a late-model, big-screen Samsung? I don't wanna get robbed on a 6 train station platform 3 levels underground...

I realize the Samsung Galaxy S III was new in August 2012. It is not a big deal anymore. But the Harlem thief can't distinguish S3 from S4 from a distance. I think he sees the big screen, and he makes his move.

I have only seen one person using a big-face Samsung on the subway, but I have only been here for a few months. Serious replies, guys.

She's been around since sohh bruh

@aqualung to answer your question, just don't walk around with you're phone out if you're in an area where there's not many people/witnesses. Keep it in your purse.

Sorry to hear about your situation. Just be weary of fukk-nikkas, and close your damn mouth sometimes. The black woman talks too damn much, I can't tell you how many mornings im walking at 6am and the black woman is running her damn mouth. Who the fukk you really gotta talk to at 6am, at leisure? But nobody should still be subjected to have to lurk and hide with their own possessions, no matter the circumstances. And their possessions are also theirs to do as they please. Even if its breathing your barely taken care of'd mouth all over your phone, loud as hell at the ass crack of the suns' rising.

Anyway, you also sound scary as hell. "The harlem thief"......., harlem is basically a city....and there's plenty dirty nikkas & banana head spics pulling scumbag capers on unsuspecting women, especially those carrying themselves as tourists.

But the game is to be sold, not told. But I like slender, small framed women. So come see me down Brooklyn, and I'll give you earth lessons. Im coming to you as a blessing. You better do the knowledge of what the gawd is manifesting.

Get off the swine, and get refined.

Come see me, lil.

In the bay, cell phone theft is happening more and more. These cats are robbin people on trains and buses an as they walk down the streets usin their phones.

 

[Playeroni]

This is why you and these other soft cacs need to stay the fukk out of NYC. I'm not from here (Detroit) but I know how to move in the streets. Drunk passed out on the train, hitting a atm with 3 grimey nikkas 2ft away, moving into places with high crime rates, etc.The wolves know food when they see it. You goofy fukks come from hick towns thinking shyt is gravy until you turn into a walking lick, then wanna complain about shyt. If you not ready for the madness that goes down here then stay your scary ass at home. Just had this same convo with a bytch made hipster.

Typical HLS overthinking and entitlement.

It's just a phone. Either you put that at risk (which is pretty low) or put it away and switch to a book at 96th St.

/Lives in Karachi, has had a gun put to his temple and his chest over the last year, just for a couple of smartphones.

So I **must** read online current events, celeb gossip, foolishness, and fukkery during my commute. This is not negotiable.

IDK how much of your commute is above ground, but you rather risk getting robbed than just putting your phone away for 30-40 minutes on your way home?

I'm a grown man and my phone is like two generations old but I still take out my headphones and put my phone away when I'm walking home. These nikkas hungry

 

[aqualung]

Thanks, everyone. ;)

 

[Poitier]

lol my coworker got robbed right in front of our job back when I worked in the LES.

If you lived in NYC for a long time, you should know not to ever be in your own world walking the streets.
