@Ed. Thanks for your sarcastically copied police advice, with which I tend to agree and pretty much adhere to. Not sure what the irony was that you intended but hey ho

To be honest I’m really not sure why you’ve taken my stance so to heart though. I think you’ve lost the plot a bit to be fair. Your comparisons of catalytic converter theft and bike locks aren’t really the same unless you sit next to them in a coffee shop but perhaps you do.

By all means live your life in your little idealistic ‘I’m not going to change because of those nasty criminals and let them dictate my behaviour’ style and I’m sure all will be well. However, it’s an unfortunate fact that these days, as much as you really should be able to show off your shiny expensive possessions wherever you feel fit, it maybe isn’t wise. Not that long ago I read an advisory account by a chap from Fulham on another site who had been mugged for his watch. He fended the attacker off with light injuries but came to the view, as did the police that he’d been clocked at the pub he’d been at and followed.

Here’s the key thing, Ed, the guy was targeted, like it or not, by someone who’s probably done the same trick many times. Taking the ‘I shouldn’t have to change my behaviour’ line will be of no use when you’ve been duffed up and your £10k Tag Heuer has been ripped from your wrist. Might not have happened in Chipping Norton or Chiddingfold but in Fulham... not a complete surprise. Telling me off for saying people are daft for leaving a flashy phone on the table in a high risk environment  makes you sound like you’re shooting the messenger.
