Sandy, there is a "them and us" culture. Them that takes from us!! Mugging a five foot tall teenager aged 15 for her mobile phone does not really seem the right thing to do. Have you been mugged before, I guess your opinion may well change (or do you fall into the "I feel sorry for them because they have obviously had a hard upbringing so they are just trying to set a balance between have and have not's")??
