Have you ever been robbed?

Had my phone stolen from my workplace as a teenager.. large hotel, so it could have been any of my co-workers.

Purse fell out of my bag onto the floor on a Bus Eireann late evening bus from Belfast, only a handful of people on the bus, none of them sitting near me. I got off at Dublin airport to catch a connecting bus and realised it was missing. Rang Busaras and they said they'd check the bus as soon as it pulled into the station, about 15/20 mins later. They rang me back and told me it wasn't there. The purse contained £200 towards my rent and I was stranded at the airport without a shilling. Either one of the other 3 or 4 people getting off the bus looked into the seat and spotted it on the floor, or the bus driver took it. Was pretty gutted as my low paying job at the time just about covered my rent!

Muggers look for victims, if you've been mugged that often your behaviour is screaming "victim" to them, that's not an act of liberation it's just making bad decisions

yeah, they have no reason to hurt me. Shall I close myself indoors after 11pm and make sure I have a man escort me at night? nuts to that, 20 quid a year ish is nothing. Why do you want me to be frightened all the time?

ok, what point were you trying to make?

I got robbed on liffey street the day of my 16th birthday . The funny bit was the fact they went around and stood on henry street . So I rang the gardai and they arrested them . They also collected me and brought me to store street to give a statement . While I was giving the statement I heard the gardai giving them a hiding in the cell because one of decided to hit a garda . Justice was done that day .
