00:00I'm really worried about my kids, I'm worried about my friends, family,
00:03anybody who might be on a street corner because it just feels like it's not very safe anymore.
00:07Well you do, you just feel so vulnerable because in actual fact you're using your phone to try and
00:12get a nap, to get a cab and at the same time it's kind of
00:16lighting you up as well on the side of the street when it's so dark too.
00:21Yeah I think I was quite a target wasn't I because I was standing there on my own,
00:24it was quite dark, it was a very quiet street, there didn't appear to be anybody else around
00:29and as you say you're kind of looking down at your phone and trying to find out where your taxi is
00:34and I just was just a bit green to it all to be honest with you and I saw this biker coming
00:38towards me and I didn't, it didn't even occur to me that I was going to be a target
00:42but I realised in hindsight that he was out there looking for targets and you know I'm just so
00:48fortunate that he dropped the phone and I was able to get it back and then obviously be able to get
00:51in the car and a very kind gentleman, I don't know who he was but thank you to him, he waited
00:56with me until I was able to get into the taxi on my own but as I said I just want to warn people
01:02because it's clearly something that's happening quite a lot.
