  glad you cleared that up!! I see it now, bit slow today me, lol i would like to think i would totally batter someone had they tried to rob me, truth be known i really dont know what i would do, i like to think that i would take him or her on and win, however who knows how we react when in the situation? Its getting so frequent, i am sure there should be more safety awareness taught and also regarding phones not enough is being done to advise people to record the imei number and in the event of a theft have it barred and blacklisted......the re are many fly by night companies that unlock phones illegally and also buy stolen goods therefore encouraging these scumbags to steal in the first place...maybe its high time we had some sort of regulation into these dealers who give cash for goods? surely if its harder to sell phones etc then the rate of their thefts would decline?

  You tend to find that scum like this pick on the weak and vulnerable. I am not suggesting that the victim is either, but given his age i would guess that he would have been seen as easy pickings. Personally, i have little faith in the local/national police force, and i don't think i'd have any hesitation in handing out a good hiding to anyone who confronted me nor would i stand back in assisting someone else."
