Comment on: My phone detects going on a run as “someone snatching my phone and running off”

Ha. I was in London for work and had my phone snatched on a work trip the second day. Kings Cross area. Massive pain to get insurance to figure it out and I had to buy a burner.Two guys hopped a wide sidewalk, never stopped and were back into traffic in an instant.Everyone gave me the "you should't have been dressed that way" response. Police did nothing dispite certainly plenty of evidence (video, from apple, etc. etc).
