Watch thief steal phone while using a map as a decoy in a McDonald's restaurant

A man has been caught on camera stealing a mobile phone while using a map as a distraction in a busy McDonald’s restaurant in London.

His acting was deserving of a BAFTA nomination but the perfect con it was not. The whole process was caught on CCTV and the footage has now been released online.
