Cellphone Theft Is On The Rise In UK...What The Bloody Hell Mate?

[JamesJabdi]

They have been active with this all over Europe since way before brexit. Most Europeans are poor compared to over here

I was just in Amsterdam two weeks ago. I was shocked at the conditions over there. Smelled of weed everywhere and garbage all over the place.

 

[T-K-G]

They been on struggle mode over there ever since brexit.

seems like everyone in UK broke

They only got like 2 major cities over there and most people can't even afford em, wage gap is bananas

Imagine if the only spots for modern work was LA and NYC but the size of the country itself was smaller than Texas, all of the middle ground areas and jobs most people fit into aren't there anymore

Live in an overpriced and overpopulated city eating up all of your funds



Live in a super bland small town with government/manual labor/mom&pop jobs

Those folks interviewed must have not had locks on their phones
No way in hell the thieves managed to steal the phones, run and unlock them later

They been unlocking phones, including iPhones.

Oh yeah Americans are doing great. One bad medical problem and we are fukked. Nobody is doing well anywhere.

 

[VertigoKnight]

People are victims as they are walking round faces deep in their phones. No awareness of whose around them.

sell it for parts.

It doesn't work like that anymore.

 

[LiveFromLondon]

a lot of iphone parts are paired to that particular device, so that's not really an option.

It doesn't work like that anymore.

Where theres a will theres a way and them Chinese are crafty

They only got like 2 major cities over there and most people can't even afford em, wage gap is bananas

London's GDP is 63k, while the rest of the UK is at 36k, so its really only one

 

[TELL ME YA CHEESIN FAM?]

It doesn't work like that anymore.

How does it work?

 

[B86]

How does it work?

What I'm saying is, the hardware is paired specifically with other hardware for efficiency. This is not the days of selling a random Snapdragon or RAM where you can just throw it in any phone, so people aren't going to just buy phone parts. If people want to make money off phone parts they will buy the parts dirt cheap from China and flip them

I didn’t suggest Americans are doing great. But I can take my U.S. dollar to almost any nation in the EU and have a huge benefit over the local population. And I can chose who’s healthcare system I want to use.

I’m American born with American and Portuguese passport. The point is America one of the only countries I’m not concerned about a phone snatching
