I was walking the streets today with Google Maps showing me the way. While I was crossing the pedestrian crossing, a moto approached me. I tried he was trying to cut me off, as so many cars do here when I cross a pedestrian crossing. He slowed down and stopped. I thought it was because I almost had crossed the street and there was no place for him to pass. Then the guy grabbed the arm in which I was holding my phone and with his other hand he took the phone out of my hand. It took a couple of seconds to get my phone out of my hand. When I realised what had happened, I saw him driving away. I ran after him, but of course I could not follow him. The next block, he turned the corner.
Here is where my phone was stolen: https://goo.gl/maps/F3MJ3nv9GpD2
I lost a phone of 270 euros, I reordered the same one (I will be home in a week). Normally I mitigate this kind of things by using a cheap phone in Argentina, but the battery of my old phone died, that is why I was using my main phone. I will be forced to buy a cheap phone here tomorrow (so I can communicate again with the people I know here.)
It was the first time I have been violently robbed. If I would have known what was happening, I could have kicked the guy of his moto (he was alone).
