today we were talking about sitting on the train messing around with our phones, or observing everyone else messing around with their phones.
i have heard numerous stories of people getting their phones, ipods, ipads, iwhatevers stolen right out of their hands on the train. you're distracted and people seize the opportunity.
then i came home and read this article. it really is a very sad story or wrong place wrong time- but definitely puts a stolen cell phone into perspective...
It's unfortunate to read and it's true that everyone is almost on their mobile devices. Ever since what my roommate told me last year (her friend's classmate purse was stolen on the train) I've always been aware of my surroundings on the CTA and use my iphone as little as possible. It's scary when you look at buses and subways now of how much everyone is addicted to their phones.
