Forget delays and dodgy air conditioning — the real hazard on the Tube might just be your phone disappearing between stations. British Transport Police have revealed the worst lines for phone thefts, and while the Metropolitan Line may be the safest, the rest of London’s subterranean circus looks like an open invitation to pickpockets with data plans. 🎩💼

📞 The Great Underground Swipe

Let’s be honest — if you’re waving your £1,000 smartphone around in a packed Central Line carriage at rush hour, you’re practically auditioning for The Real Hustle: TfL Edition.

Apparently, the thieves have adapted too — no longer lurking in shadows but gliding through crowds with Olympic precision. Phones vanish between stations faster than TfL deletes complaints from Twitter. 🏃‍♂️💨

The data paints a grim picture: commuters scrolling TikTok while their devices quietly relocate themselves. And while police urge vigilance, Londoners know the true risk lies in letting go of the handrail to send a text.

Meanwhile, the Metropolitan Line’s sudden reputation as the safest line might finally make it fashionable. Who needs Shoreditch when you can travel in peace from Harrow to Uxbridge with both your phone and your dignity intact? 📲😎

Maybe TfL should replace “See it. Say it. Sorted.” with something a bit more honest: “Grip it. Guard it. Gone.”
