Pickpocket swindled My Phone, Ultra Watch and Stripped My Pants on a Crowded Bus!

I wanted to share my experience in case it helps others avoid a similar situation. This morning (around 9:30 AM), I was on a packed DTC *bus* enroute ISBT Anand Vihar when I became the victim of a well-orchestrated theft. I lost my samsung z fold 6 and samsung ultra watch worth over 2 lakh rupees to these master pickpockets A fat uncle dressed in formals (large build, looked to be in his late 40's or early 50's) I noticed came and stood behind me in a crowded packed bus and I barely had space to hold onto anything and he kept pushing me and eventually put his hands on my shoulder. I told him to hold onto some support but he said there was no space and to adjust for a bit, i told him he can hold onto the bar beside him to which he said kids these days have no respect for their elders and cant even adjust what a shame, I apologized to him and let him be - he then apparently dropped something and squatted down next to my feet for a min and felt him touching my shoes, I couldnt turn and see what was happening - later he tried engaging me on some small talk but I ignored him After a while the crowd increased further and another guy came and squeezed me from the front at next stop and my hands became stuck holding the support and I could not move them, this is when I felt a weird sensation around my waist and belly for a good 5 minutes I couldnt do anything but felt something weird we reached the next stop when I could finally move my hands I immediately went for my pockets to notice my phone was missing, I push and turn around forcefully to see the uncle behind me missing as well, he must have got down on the stop? Before I could shout, I noticed my waist belt was missing and my pants start to slide down from my waist as it was unbuttoned and unzipped - my shirt buttons were also unbuttoned, I was embarrassed and quickly picked it up before people notice and put it back on and tried to move to the conductor to stop the bus, but I fell down, my shoe laces were also tied together when I looked at my feet. Then noticed my ultra watch had also been taken away from my wrist (must have happened when my hands got locked onto the support bar earlier) I immediately rushed to the conductor to stop the bus, but by then, it was too late. I have filed a lost report with police but they told its highly unlikely to get my phone and watch back. The report will only safeguard from misuse of phone Just check your valuables before and after boarding the bus and if possible (must) keep them inside your chained bag. Until today, I used to think naively it was impossible that someone will steal my valuables from my pocket but these thieves really know their stuff.
