Sorry to read that, hopefully if you have a police report number you should be able to claim on your insurance. Although I know that is not much consolation when this kind of thing happens.

Seems to be a common method of theft these days.
Even if the cops pull him in it's unlikely you'll ever see the gold chain again but it's a virtual certainty that the thief will be back on the streets doing the same thing within hours.

Just because something is attached to the person does not necessarily keep it safe.

Same thing exactly happened to my girlfriend as we were sitting on the edge of the pavement along with thousands of others watching a parade go by in Cadiz.
The thief was gone into the crowd before we even had time to get to our feet.

The moral of the story is don't wear anything expensive when out in public places or more than likely it will happen again.
