it's a lot of phones.
Yeah. It is. And I guess if you want £thousands per week by stealing phones you've got to commit a serious amount of moped enabled muggings. You'd think the sheer volume of crime required would be a bit of a deal breaker but I guess as long as 200 muggings results in broadly the same sentence as one mugging * then hey, why not.
* do they? I guess I'm assuming these people make broadly rational risk / reward choices.

Well I guess most people (myself included) seem to know a few people that it's happened to so if you spread that out across the whole of London it's a lot of phones.
