What is the average collective value of the possessions of a city commuter?

Question

This may include your wallet, phone, MP3 player, laptop, whatever you may have on you as a City commuter.

Answer 1

pick pocketing again are we? ;-)

well, your wallet includes your bank card so that could run into thousands or an overdraft...

Answer 2

depends on how much your train season ticket costs. Annual season tickets on my line to London cost £3500 and I've heard further up the line they're paying £6000.  The tickets are only replaced at the discretion of the train company (1 or 2 times) and at a cost. The rest depends on what kind of mobile or laptop you have etc. I reckon on a really bad day with an annual season ticket, a pickpocket's spending spree on a credit card with £3000 credit, a laptop, MP3, mobile broadband dongle, phone, books, bag, wallet/ purse, portable DVD player, makeup -  somebody could potentially get away with about £8,000 worth of stuff if they stole a bag. Blimey that's scary!

Answer 3

not including credit cards, probably not far off £500.

Ipod, cash, camera, phone

Mind you i guess if it depends if you are going to be robbing people in London or not. I'm guessing the Londoners are richer than the non-Londoners.

Either way if you are asking this question to rob people then you are scum. Hopefully that is not the case and it is a very interesting question, whatever your motives.

Answer 4

why? are you planning on robbing commuters?
