Anna and her boyfriend clambered down the steps after a ride on the dodgems when she felt a shove in her back. She turned and brushed against a gangly youth whose face was partly concealed by a hooded jacket.

Through the crowd, Anna watched as Hoodie Man sauntered over to a hot dog stand and reached into his pocket and then the other pocket. His smartphone was missing. It was in her handbag, along with his wallet.

Anna’s smile broadened as Hoodie Man looked inside her purse. Empty, except for two ticket stubs from another fairground attraction: the Big Dipper.
