I got robbed
So I was going to visit my girlfriend today. I went to the train station to wait for thr train. I got there late and I missed the train, so I had to wait for the next one. I called her to tell her and was sitting in the waiting room. I went outside to call my Mom and a black homeless guy ran up to me with a butterfly knife, pointed it at my gut and asked me for my money. I dropped my phone and handed it over. I only had 41 bucks. I needed every dollar of that for the train ride to my girlfriend and back.
I called the person who dropped me off and they came back and got me. We went into a near by cafe' and used their phone to call the police. The police came and took me on a ride in the backseat around the area to help look for the guy. We looked for an hour and found nothing. I gave them a pretty good description too. I lost my money but atleast I'm alright. Scary experience I'd not like to never experience again. |

Oh man, you got ganked. Sorry to hear that, man. Glad I haven't experienced that yet. I probably will eventually, though.

I'm glad you're ok, Spitfire. I know firsthand how scary it is. My first reaction was insane fear. My second reaction was a burning vigilante anger that makes me love Casey Jones a little more.
Three guys tried to rob me at gunpoint. I kicked their asses with my kung-fu powah. Ok, I didn't. But I ran, and I made a scene, and through God's grace I'm still here. It was stupid, what I did, but at the same time, I knew that lately around here they tend to shoot you after they get what they want. :p What you did, though, that was the right and smart thing to do in your situation, and you should feel confident about that.

I am so sorry Spitfire....Where I live, there are lots of drugs and crime because it is in a poor part of town. Anyways, a car got stolen out of the apartment complex's parking lot. There have been other robberies as well. I have been stalked twice in my life...once in Colorado and once in Oregon. The one in Colorado was scarier than the one in Oregon.
The story to the one in Colorado: In the student center on the university campus, someone would call out my nickname. I would stop and listen in order to place where the sound was coming from. I could not place so I did not think much of it. Then they were calling me from an unlisted phone number every night. For some reason, they even signed me up for online dating service. This went on for 6 weeks...I was scared for my life. I could not go to the campus police even though some of the incidents happened on campus grounds because I lived off-campus, so I had to turn to the city police. I kept a baseball bat underneath my bed for protection. I even hacked into the online dating service to determine who set me up and did some investigations of my own. I even told the police that I may have a lead on my situation. The police chief even asked me if I would like to have a job as a cyber detective. Anyways, they went to get who I thought was the stalker but it turned out that he was as inoccent as I was. Two of his buddies, fellow college students, were playing match-maker on me and him. In Paris, I was with a group of friends, and some people tried to push us down in order to get our money. I was very smart to put a patch with my USA money, credit cards, and passport underneath my clothes. I had a fanny pack that had some French money, but not very much.

That sucks, but at least you're alright.
I've never been mugged myself, though my father was mugged and beat up once in France.
