The woman says her phone was stolen this morning and the officer asks what happened.

She says it happened at the Central Bus Station near the ticket machines, around 9:20 a.m.

Before leaving home, she had checked the weather and called her boss, then left quickly to catch the bus.

At the station, she was buying a ticket, checking the timetable, and texting her sister.

She had opened a message from her sister while standing in line, then put the phone in her coat pocket.

A man bumped into her, said “Sorry,” and walked away quickly. She isn’t sure if he was suspicious.

A few minutes later, while walking to Platform 3, she reached into her pocket and noticed the phone was missing.

She checked all her pockets, went back to the ticket machine area, and then called her phone from a friend’s number, but no one answered.

She confirms the phone had a PIN and Face ID, and describes it as a blue iPhone 13 with a clear case and a small sticker.

The officer asks for her details, says they will check cameras and make a report, and advises her to block the SIM and change passwords.
