I think I’m going to give up on mobile phones. My shiny new Nokia E61, which I purchased a mere 19 days ago, just got stolen. I was chatting to a friend on my way to Waitrose, and when I got there I put the phone in my coat pocket and picked up a basket. A few minutes later, I thought ‘I had better put my phone in my bag, in case it gets stolen’, but too late.
I didn’t feel anyone reach into my pocket. I wasn’t aware of anyone coming too close, or watching me or bumping into me. Whoever it was was a very, very good pickpocket, and I’m sure they’ll enjoy the phone for the next 24 hours until the bar kicks in, and after that I’m sure they’ll sell it on eBay
for hundred quid or so.
Meantime, I await with bated breath to find out if the insurance got sorted out in time, otherwise I’m fucked. Plus the Treo is seriously buggered now and I can’t even make calls on it, so I’m doubly fucked.
Merry fucking Christmas.
