Let’s talk about London

This is for you Londoners. Please do not reply unless you have first hand knowledge.

London seems to be in the news more than other places in regards to watch theft, stabbing an arm to get a watch, etc.

I am interested in what is not said in these stories. Are these people in parts of town that normal tourists never go? Do you think they were doing stupid stuff and not just wearing a watch like normal (bragging, etc.)? Or is theft that just more ramped there than other places?

I have never really felt on edge wearing nice watches wherever I go, but then again I tend to not do stupid stuff or go to places where my general sense of well being might be in jeopardy.

So what is it, what is up with these London stories?

Thanks
