    So to summarise:

    – Avoid having a large sum of money in your current account, or accounts easily accessible by phone.

    – London is either an interesting place to live or crime addled, depending on your perspective.

    – Singapore is either boring or full of interesting places, cultures and food, depending on your perspective.

    – Labour are definitely winning the next election, which is probably a good thing (or not depending on your perspective).

    – Labour’s Shadow Home Secretary doesn’t fill anybody with confidence.

    – We HfPs can certainly go off at a tangent!

    Good summary 🙂 The OP did say at some point that he wished to start a debate and raise awareness, so it definitely worked.

    Yeah, whatever you think about the crime rates, HfPers are generally bunch of people with many credit cards and financial apps, which make them more vulnerable to such crimes. I’m no exception to this. And I think it iş important to be aware of the risks.

    Great summary! Would perhaps add – think about what you’d do if your phone got stolen today.

    The latter does seem to be a view held by those that do not live in London or visit very often 🙂

    Whenever I visit London I’m always slightly surprised that it’s a rather civilised place, full of normal people! And with lots of famous sights and functioning public transport, and theatre.

    I just saw this solution and did it on my phone. May not be the ultimate solution, but better than nothing:
