- 7.83 million people living in London (as of end of June 2010)
- 815,788 crimes committed in London (from September 2010 to September 2011)
- 35,701 of these were personal robberies
- 814 days since I first came to London (obviously not consecutively)
- 1 time I had my personal belongings stolen.
Now let’s get into the true figures of this particular crime;
What was stolen;
1 bag (worth £7 from New Look)
1 wallet (a hand-me-down from Kathy)
1 months’ worth of medication (pretty sure the robber won’t need that)
1 oyster card (with an almost new travel card, which was cancelled pretty much straight away)
1 pass to get into my office (if the robber wants to go in and do my work they can but instead it looks like I’m going to have to pay for a new pass)
3 keys (all the keys I own in this city)
4 pieces of make-up (yep, the only make-up I wear)
1 bottle of perfume (the perfume I get every Valentines and what I wear whenever I go out)
1 Australian driver’s license (my only ID, I’m sure this will come in very handy for someone else)
1 railcard for 16 -25 year olds (this stopped me from automatically getting my oyster card transferred to a new one)
1 £50 Selfridges voucher (the robber is very lucky that they get to reap the rewards of my recent hard work, this was probably the most valuable thing in the wallet)
2 Barclays debit cards (cancelled immediately and therefore completely useless)
1 Bankwest debit card (definitely useless as this account is empty and has no overdraft)
1 MasterCard (also cancelled straight away)
2 photos of me and my Dad that I carry in my wallet (only means something to me, obviously)
1 £20 pound note and…
About £4-£5 worth of coins.
So I hope the robber has gone absolutely wild with my £25!!!!
At least the robbery didn’t ruin my night!
But seriously, of all that was pretty much my entire life and would completely useless to anybody else….cheers robber.
