Where do you live? Any urban center anywhere in the world phone theft is common.

I live in Dresden (Germany), and I've never even heard of anyone who has been mugged here. Sure, there will be cases in the statistics, but I can not name anyone who has been mugged, ever.
Theft is a superset of robbery; I know plenty of people who have had their phone stolen because they left it lying out in the open
I wasn't sure, hence asking. London, UK. btw.
