Probably standing there, the the £400 plus gizmo phone, showing the world he has one, next thing robbery.Try to remember to be discreet, you wouldn't walk around with a large wad of cash, remember the phones value...

always carry 2 phones...your fancy one and an old £5 Nokia, hand over the Nok in the event of a mugging, same goes with wallets, one contains your £370 and the other has a thick wod of Vietnamese Dong or Lira in.
