Gangs target smart phones in Nottingham city centre

“So you made it up didn't you egghead. More spurious accusations which you just can't back up - like everything else you post on this website - you buffoon.

Oh how I laughed.”

“That would be a bit difficult you buffoon, they've been removed by the moderators, much like your previous Mr Angry character was, kpi99 zzzzzzzzz...... lol.”

“Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz!!

LOL”

“Erm talk of bigots and up pops old egghead. Now we all know that you have plenty of previous for having posts removed don't we. But anyway, I don't have too good a memory egg head - could you help me out and point to one of my bigoted posts?

Thanks.”

“They don't ignore it, Badger had one of his posts removed on this very thread for those exact reasons. You, of course, should know this, having had so many bigoted and abusive posts removed.”

“You see how they ignore the fact that these pages are plagued by bigots and racists - disgraceful. Then never mind the stealing of mobile phones from all and sundry. We also have the likes of Shogun stealing walking sticks from his disabled work colleagues and dressing it up as tom foolery. And he just won't submit to the will of the board to answer for his misdemeanours!

Oh, how I laughed at his shame.”

“digby, the people that we're clearly referring to are the ones who walk along the pavement through crowds of people just staring at their phone and banging into others without even looking up or apologising.

Try this little trick that I enjoy doing: next time you're in town and you see someone with a phone walking towards you while they're head down texting or playing a game, just stand there, and let them walk into you. It's quite funny after you've done it a few times.

I do think that they usually CAN tell that someone's there, but probably subscribe to that strange thing we have now that you have to pretend that something you're doing is just SO important that it gives you carte blanche to completely ignore other people.”

“dccrane
where do you get the information from which says you are not supposed to use your phone while walking?
A mobile phone is what it says mobile.There are a few places where I do not like people using there phones ie in a restaurant, Cinema, while driving and when at a till while paying and really common sense should be used when carrying and using the mobile phone.”

“The facts are simple, too many people deliberately pose with them and become targets through their own stupidity; the reality is that all sorts of people from organised gangs to oportunists will exploit such stupidity, so there are both groups operating. Something not mentioned is the ever rising costs of mobile phone insurance, and the costs to the Police in investigating these criminals, and its so easy to avoid with a little common sense.”

“The bias and sub-standard reporting in the post is a disgrace. They could have reported the truth before but have chosen to ignore it.
