To the amazing girl who chased down a thief and retrieved her phone this afternoon near Russell Square – you’re a total legend!
This all went down around 3:30 PM near the Brunswick Centre. I was walking behind the woman who had stolen your phone with my parents, and I couldn’t believe my eyes when I saw you sprinting past us. You confidently confronted her, got your phone back, and calmly returned to your friend.
My mum was astounded that the thief just strolled away like nothing happened after handing the phone back. It was such a bizarre moment!
In any case, I made sure to tuck my phone securely in my bag and offered a quiet thanks to the London deities of anti-phone theft for keeping both me and my phone safe! 🙏
What an amazing story! Huge props to that brave girl for taking action and getting her phone back! It’s incredible to see people stand up against thieves like that. It must have been quite a sight to witness! And I love how your mum was shocked at the thief’s nonchalant reaction—some people just don’t seem to realize the impact of their actions. Glad to hear you are feeling safe with your phone in your bag now! Hopefully, her courage inspires others to be vigilant too. 🙌✨
