I experienced that too but the thief wasn't my friend. I experienced it more than one time. And that was very annoying. The most annoying experience was, I just won some money from a game. And i wanted to buy some new clothes and new shoes. But when i was in the elevator, I saw my backpack was opened. And i knew that something was gone from my backpack. And that was true, i lost all money that i won from that game. I was very sad, because i waited that money from a long time, and when i finally won that money, i lost it in just couple hours after i won. Huhuhuhu

That's awful that you lost money that you were happy about winning.I think only selfish people steal from others.Thanks for sharing your experience with us.

Yes, it happened nearly a year ago. A lot of money was stolen, more than 11.000! My ex partner was to blame, he hacked my computer, got hold of bank passwords and started to spend my money by buying things online. We were on holiday touring Europe by car when after about 3 weeks of fun and travelling he suddenly one day dissapeared from the hotel leaving me stranded in a foreign country with no cards, money etc. I was in shock and couldn't believe what had happened. Luckily, the bank realized that there was also a security issue with their system and after studying all the transactions he had made online, they agreed to take responsibility and give me the 11.000 euros he had stolen after reporting him to the police. Unfortunatly he also got away with 5000 euros in cash and that I have lost. I never saw this man again. He obviosuly was a professional love rat and I later learned he had played the same trick on other women too. I am still recovering emotionally from this nasty ordeal. I feel I can never trust anyone again.

Wow, it`s horrible to be robbed by one of your friends . I have had my money stolen, but always by pickpockets, so when I realized it was too late to do nothing, apart from reporting to the police. Of course, reporting to the police won`t take your money back... I really hate pickpockets and I usually wish the worst for them, as that`s the only thing they deserve

When i was working in call center it was my 1st salary and that time only my money had stolen and it was so embarrassing day to me because it was my 1st salary. But it was stolen by my friend only. So from that day only whenever i get my salary i used to lock them and its always safe.

When I was a high school student, one day when I was waiting for the bus, my wallet was stolen. I was upset because it was a big amount for a student. I didn't tell my parents. After that, I will keep alert when I go out and I won't let such kind of issues happen to me again. I love China

hi java this happened a long time back and I loaned my hubby one hundred dollars towards getting a new television . I did not know until my hubby came back that he was planning on buying this new television from the back of this unknow jerk's pickupo truck. I gave my husband the monney, and he bought the jerk in and introduced him as Jack somebody who he had met in his favorite bar. well he went outside, gave the jerk Jack the money, then instead of getting the televison and bringing it into our apartment, he excused himself, told the guy i have to go to the bathroom, be right back. okay already stupidity had set in, as when he got back out this supposedly honest jerk,Jack was gone aith the tv and the pickup. I was furious with my hubby and the thief. we called the police and described the truck , but with the police only lukewarm about the theft nothing was ever done, and the man got clean away with my hard earned money. I think that the police figured as did I that the televison was stolen .lol

Oh!! Yes!! It happened with me a year ago. I had a colleagues who is quiet friendly and with time we became close friends too. She used to sit on my next table.But quiet often I noticed that I am losing money from my purse. But it was not a huge amount so I didn't count. But later on I find out that it is happening with almost all female staffs in my office and in a CCTV footage we found out that she is the person. Later on her boyfriend told us that he is very ashamed about the incident and we must excuse her as she is a kleptomaniac.

yeah, i had. but at the moment, i can't judge him/ her for being thief. if my money stolen, i only give more careness for her/him. i know, the thief must need careness from people around him/her
