London – Grand Theft Capital

I just read that the UK and London in particular, is now the theft capital for stolen cars and phones.

Cars are stolen in UK in large numbers now by well organized gangs and almost within the same day they are shipped out in containers. Most of these stolen cars end up in Africa and in UAE.

Likewise London has also become the world’s snatch theft capital for handphones. Again by organized gangs but this time they are shipped to China where there is a thriving market for the stolen phones.

Shocking that amongst the very few things that UK is known for now, it is stolen cars and snatched phones. Whatever has happened to this country? Economy is in a poor state, the political situation is precarious and their leaders are mediocre at best. The only thing going for them is the overseas students populating their universities and propping up their economy. Sad state of affairs for a country which at one time ruled almost half the world. Looking at the quality of their current political and administrative leaders one wonders how in the world their previous generation managed that to rule half the world.
