Britons are walking the streets with an average value of £851 ($1,600) in their possession.
"Zurich Insurance has warned British consumers that their expensive gadgetry and designer clothing could increase the risk of them becoming a victim of crime.
The company highlights the fact that there was an eight per cent rise in street crime in 2005 - the Home Office suggested that the increase in mobile phones and MP3 players was part of the reason for this. "

Posted by below24
Haha, that would be some body gaurd!
i can pay you in crispy creme doughnuts!
Posted by lamont
you callin me fat??
Posted by Luke-the-magic-man
One thing I don't think is acurate here is you lot are adding in clothes shoes and cash, In the original survey I don't think thats accurate, you are also listing high prices for your goodies.
Take lamount
Clothes - not inc
8800 - £200
M600i- £200
2x gold chain - £240 - duno what their worth, but wouldnt get 200 for them off me
silver bracelet- £10 - silver is cheap, and didnt you get that off ebay dirt cheap?
Cash- not inc
MP3 player- again didn you buy a fake ipod shuffle for 28.50 off ebay?
--------------------------------
Total £678.50
--------------------------------
that is a high valuation still, but you are valueing your goods higher then they are worth to any one who will rob you, for your "stash" i dbout anyone would get more then 400 for it on the street
Posted by ÈL ® ö B ì Ñ
Whats quite funny....is a £10 digital watch will do the same as a £10,000 rolex.
An if ya wearing long sleeves, you won't see either of em anyway
Posted by below24
Seeing it isnt the point, the fact you own a beautiful timepiece is what matters!
Unless you have one of those sill Jacob watches cover that S**t up!
Ok minus shoes still about 5G
@Lamont, nah your not fat, i just like the doughnuts!
Posted by Luke-the-magic-man
I duno, I don't agree much with your evaluation either
lets see:
Watch: £2750 - possibly depending what make and model, if its a omega or rado its possible
Ring Bracelette: £240 - wouldnt be worth that on the street, but new it maybe
Shoes: NA
Phones: £600 - what phoens do you own? Be easier if you said for evaluation purposes
Ipod + Headphones: £400 - ipod (asuimg 30gb vid) 150 if in tip top condition and you were carrying all the extras, what are the headphones? Sure?
Laptop: £1000 - if its over 6 monthos old its not worth that, again make and model would be good
Total: tbd

lukes tryin 2 make me look poor
@luke - its a different bracelet, dat 1 from ebay was a present (i dont love them very much) lol
The gold chains were already marked down alot from retail along with the phones. i know we dont pay that much for these phones but its still well below the retail value.

@lamont nobody is trying to make anybody look poor, how many 17 year olds are there that have as much as you? Not that many i bet, apart from some people on here. You got way more than me and i am 21.
Posted by lamont
@coops - i was joking.
i paid for all that with my lil business hehe
Posted by below24
lamont is minted! like polos! i wish i had that clobber at 17! i just had trainers lots of them!
Posted by haynesycop
Sorry i didn't mean to sound harsh it came out wrong but you know what i mean right? My lil business is not doing that well at the moment lol! I have a big shopping list so the money best start to come in soon.

hahha ha ha, If I get fat and grow some bitch tits does that mean Im worth more?
@ lamount - not making you poor at all, just making things realistic.
Il do myself now:
Zippo (just in case) - £3
6822 - £50
ipod - 30gb video - £160 inc a decent set of headphones eymotic or sumin
keys & keyrings etc - £20 inc my gym card
sunglasses - £5 (unless I used my razrwires)
Normal Watch - £40-60
If I have my bag on me:
macbook pro - £1100 - £1200
Tv for mac - £50
spare phone - £40
possibly some dvds - £10
Now thats not allot of stuff, and I feel im missing something, now if you were to rob me on the way to the post office you would get luckey,
say 3 ipod videos - £500 +
2-4 high end phones worth about £200 each
laptop 440+
ipod parts - £200
and tons of odds and ends, but the adverage trip after a proper ebay slae is about 3k
Posted by lamont
sorry i think my statement came out wrong, i was not being serious at all lol.
Posted by below24
@luke,

Im tryna get me some bitch tis, epspecialy in this weather, think of that sweat, look at my side boob!

lol you got no idea, sometimes I have 4 large bags (like those you get from high end department stores) and then a bag on my back to, sometimes I even have to take 2 trips lol.
I duno having bitch tits would be odd, as they wouldnt have the same feel a real boob, so it would be weird lol, though it would mean I could try and join amnesia on his hard gay quests lol
edit : the tv is great, its a freevire reciever I bought, i can get about 100 channels over here dpendeing where I am, so def worth the £70 I paid for it
