The victim had the device pinched from a table at the fast food branch in Nottingham city centre by a man who distracted her simply by asking her to sign a piece of paper.
Footage shows the crook first approaching a man and woman and engaging in conversation with them both.
He goes on to ask the unsuspecting victim to look at and sign the piece of A4 paper, using the sheet to cover her mobile phone which was on the table.
