One of the favourite crimes of foreign immigrant gangs is the Stealing of Mobile Phones.
It's very easy money. They ride around on their silent e-bikes wearing masks, and target those who wear earphones whilst looking into their phones. If you wave a £1,000 phone in front of you, whilst being totally unaware of what's going on around you, someone will come along and take it. It's as easy and simple as that.
Most stolen phones now end-up abroad. About 33% of them go to Algeria, 20% to China, and 7% to Hong Kong. A recent raid on an apartment in Kowloon HK revealed over a Million stolen phones.
The UK based gangs, mostly Afghans and Bulgarians, use young Afro-Caribbean hoodlums to steal the phones, then they export in bulk and receive anything from £200 to £400 per stolen phone. A small amount of work is done to them by the buyers, and they are re-sold, often above the original retail price. They make a fortune.
So, my advice to all Gen Z'ers (and others) is NOT to listen to Taylor Swift records as you wander around aimlessly, and NOT to hold your phone out in front of you, as if to say "Here, take this".
If you ignore this good advice, your phone will probably be stolen. And don't say you weren't warned!
Such is today's UK.
Why do you waste your time on such irrelevancies? At your age, well even at twenty, it's far more becoming, useful and edifying to ponder on real issues. Say, the finality of life.

Thousands of people are traumatised every day because of these scumbags. If you think that's 'irrelevant', then OK.
