There I was minding my own business, meandering through Covent Garden on a cold December day. Christmas was approaching and the shopping lanes twinkled with lights.
I was on my way home, using Google Maps to navigate to the Tube. Yes, I was looking down and no, I was not aware of my surroundings. Then suddenly, a cyclist, dressed head to toe in black lycra - balaclava included - came tearing down the street and attempted to snatch my iPhone out of my hand. Something that’s become so common in London.
