Do you allow peopel to walk up to you in the street and take things from
you?
It happens quite regularly. The naughty people dont leave the barrier until
you have put your ticket in, they take it, go sell it and buy drugs. Or
alcohol.
Dont put it in until the person in front has left.

Or buy an Oyster. Problem solved.

I think that you are confusing two separate issues. Do I allow people
to take things off of me in the street, no I don't.
I am required by LUL to put my ticket into the gate it is therefore out
of my control. Note that there is nothing written on the gate to say
they you should only insert the ticket after the previous person has
removed theirs. If that is the case then LUL should say so.
Alternatively if you should not insert your ticket until the previous
ticket is removed then the mechanism should prevent you from doing so.
Better luck next time.
