82. Snatch & grab

A few milliseconds was all it took.

I was standing on the street outside my hotel DM’ing with a friend - possibly even a reader of this - and a kid in a navy hoodie on a bike zooms past and grabbed my phone and was gone. It was Sunday morning, my last full day in London, I had low situational awareness because the coffee had yet to take affect and my attention was being monopolized by my screen. it was a quiet wide street. It was all too easy.

I barely noticed it happen.
