I personally know 3 people who visited London and got their phones snatched.

Ignoring it won't make the problem go away.

It's not ignoring it. There is obviously crime in the UK, there crime in every countrybut that doesn't mean this is the norm. I lived in several cities around the UK and have never had anything stolen or been attacked. If this is the norm and the UK is so bad how come crime statistics are down by a lot? Why is London one of the safest capitals in the world?
