taken?

eevyhayes

so I was in galway for the weekend and was out in a night club as you do, boppen away. Left my bag at the edge of the dancefloor, where i could see it and when i went to get it, it was gone. couldnt find it anywhere, asked in the cloakroom, the bar, the bouncers..nowhere to be found. It had my passprt, purse, phone, bank cards...all the essentials really! thankfully some good citizen handed it into supermax, they must have found it or taken it by mistake. Got it back the next day anyways. Nothing was taken, all was there. I was one lucky girl!!! thank god there's still good people in the world!

so im just wondering have u ever got anything taken or stolen and...was it worth alot?? did u ever get it back?? or have u ever been like that good galway citizen and found sumones bag, money etc and handed it in?

Someone took my virginity once - never got it back :mad:

Found wallets, bags and mobile phones. Handed them into the Gardi station.
Karma and all that... Pass it forward.

I lost my wallet back in the days of £'s and had £20 in it. Somebody found it and bought a can in the nightclub for £2.50 and put the change back in and handed it in.

We're all wonderfully honest people in Galway.:cool:

Had my wallet stolen out of my bag in town one day, didn't even notice til I got a phone call from Pearse St garda station to say someone handed in a wallet.

It had my bank cards, credit cards etc etc in it, thankfully no cash.

Turns out whoever took it threw it in a bin, and when the bin guy was emptying it, he saw my wallet and handed it in to the guards. What a hero.

All my cards were still in it except my starbucks card with 20 euro on it, I really hope it was the bin guy that got that and not the scummer who took my wallet.

If you could see it, how did you lose it?

You left it in a club and it was handed into a fastfood joint? Or am i reading that wrong there?

OP, have you learned to not let your valuables just lying around where anyone can get them?

So you left your handbag on the dancefloor, firstly what the hell did you expect? Secondly, you recovered your bag from supermacs? I guess supermacs is not in the nightclub, right? Am I missing something here?

Maybe the Supermacs staff were out-sourcing for fresh meat!

Presumably Supermacs and the club are near side by side because if the last place i saw something was on the edge of the dancefloor in some club and it went missing, the last place i would look for it is in Supermacs.

EDIT: Xavier said it before me. (the swine)

I don't know who you are. I don't know what you want. If you are looking for ransom, I can tell you I don't have money. But what I do have are a very particular set of skills; skills I have acquired over a very long career. Skills that make me a nightmare for people like you. If you let my daughter go now, that'll be the end of it. I will not look for you, I will not pursue you. But if you don't, I will look for you, I will find you, and I will kill you.

As good as a movie said quote is from was, I don't see how it fits in with this thread at all.

And it's brilliant too. Better action than the last Bourne film. It's hard to say whether it's better than Shoot Em Up though. That's a cheese pizza start to finish.

I can't say I've ever had anything stolen.
What is more I have a slightly embarrassing habit of losing things in my possession.
And 99.99999999% of the time they find their way back to me. Most people are very good.

I remember i was playing a soccer match when i was around 15 and after the match i was getting changed i noticed the money and my phone which had been in the pockets of my pants which i left in my gear bag were gone. Turned out some little scumbag that played for the U12 team for our club had stolen them. (The U12 team were playing a match before us.) Luckily one of my buddies knew the little scumbag and got my phone back.

And they all lived happily ever after. The End.

Fajitas!

We were out on the piss on holidays, someone robbed my mates jacket with all his money, passport and plenty of other bits and bobs in it that'd be pretty hand when you're abroad.

We looked all about for it, no sign. Got lost walking home and bumped into the chap that robbed it, wearing it. Sorted

well i left it beside loads of other coats and bags so someone must have just taken it by mistake when they were getting their coat or whatever!!

i sent a txt to my phone saying different places they could hand it into just for their own convenience. told them where we were stayin, where we went that night, to hand it into the guards or supermax which was just beside where we were that night!

the name of this thread shares the same name as the film "Taken"


yes were an honest bunch here in galway, i alos am curious as to how your bag would have made the journey from Karma/cuba*/halo/cp's..... and yes you were lucky!

Leaving your bag with all your important things on the edge of the dancefloor?

I'm glad you got it back, but if it was taken you'd have nobody to blame but yourself. I can't believe how naive some people are, if I had a friend or girlfriend like that, I'd be worried for them.

jeez...i didnt start this post to be called stupid!
it was pretty much beside me..not across the other side of the room like! but it was with other coats and stuff, sumone just picked it by mistake! i saw loads of girls that also had left their bags down. its not an uncommon thing to do you know! usually me and my friends leave are bags down and dance around them.

Phone was robbed from a dressing room. Other team had a player sent off and convinced he robbed it but couldnt prove it. Their manager wouldnt ask his players at all so I couldnt do anything about it

I didn't call you stupid I still think it's incredibly naive though. Dancing around them, that's ok, but leaving it aside where someone could easily just lift it and leave? Maybe if it just had makeup/petty cash, but not with all your important cards etc. I'm a guy, so no handbag, but I certainly wouldn't leave my wallet on the ground if I'd nowhere to put it.

Did the club not have a cloakroom that you could put it in?

Crash Bang Wall wrote: »

Maybe my 24 years in life have made me cynical, but while the majority of people are sound, and would leave the bag alone, it only takes one scumbag in the club to walk past and lift the bag. Unfortunately there are always a few chancers in any club or pub (or anywhere for that matter!).

In that respect, I still think the OP is naive to think a bag is safe on the side of a dancefloor. Sad but true.


Edit: I just asked my girlfriend and two other girls here in my house - none of the three would even consider leaving a bag on the dancefloor so I'm not the only one!

You're in the wrong forum so. You wanted Personal Issues, where people would have taken pains to assure you it was entirely someone else's fault.

I have no idea how this even becomes a typo.

my gf is currently using a found phone. i guilt her at every opportunity, admittedly it was found turned off, sim locked and and all the numbers were on the sim so she couldnt call the persons family/friends.


but.... shaaaaaammmme

ClioV6 - That quote would have been funnier if only you replaced the word "Daughter" with "Jacket".

homerun_homer

Had a leather jacket I bought in Stockholm stolen on me on a night out in Dublin over a year ago. I was gutted, I loved that jacket and haven't found one I liked as much as it since. I was in a not too busy pub, there was about 8 of us in a booth and loads of jackets were on top of mine yet it got knicked. :mad:
