Ever had your valuable belongings stolen?

Hi thyst, I can understand how you feel. One month ago, a thief stole my purse. There are six hundred RMB in it. Those money can buy two or three bikes. I was very angry and wish the chief evil. I didn't report to the police because police won't help me to get back. These things is very normal in China, so you must protect your belongings by yourself. Please take care of my things very carefully. All the best. Your friend, jxndwl

There was this girl from my class, we hang out, but we're not that close and she's from a low-class family. But even though she's from a low-class family, my friends and I still hang out with her. And then one day, when the two of us are hanging out together during lunch, she borrowed my mirror. I told her that I'm going to buy drinks and left my bag with her. and then the next thing I knew, my clinique pressed powder was missing. At first I never thought that it might be her. But the following days, my friend's money was missing while she was hanging out with that friend. And then another friend lost her phone. After all of that, we told her harsh things and ignored her.

Hi thyst, I'm sorry about your loss and things being ruined for the summer. That has to be one of the most worst pet peves ever to go through. To answer your question if this has ever happened to me I can unfortunitly say yes it has. My own brother has stolen many things from me and it hurts that one of my own immediate family members would do this. I'm not sure if you know what Columbia House is? It's a company that sells movies. I ordered about ten movies and he stole them. When my hubby and I stayed with my mom after we moved out of our apartment, my hubby got her permission to store his things in her garage and the value of his stuff was four thousand dollars. My so called brother went through all of my hubby's belongings and took a visit to a pawn shop with his tools and a whole bunch of things. I've never been so embarrassed ever in my life! I don't talk to him because of his issues he has in life and I hate him. I have pretty much disowned him and it's the best thing I could ever do. have a good night

[b]Ya.. its my book.. the book name is "My Book of Bible Stories"...

Yes. I also had a lot of things stolen from me in the past few years. Recently, my cellphone got stolen. It was only used for around a year. It did not have any scratches etc. It looked like brand-new. I also got my wallet stolen last year while I was commuting. Good thing I did not have my credit card inside. Of course, I was devastated. But I kept thinking that I hope the thief gets his/her karma soon. It's no use crying over spilled milk.

Yes, we also had a bicycle stolen several years ago and it was never recovered. We've had a cellphone snatched, a television stolen, among others. I guess some people have that mean habit of robbing other people. I wish they get their appropriate punishment soon.

I withdraw my money from the bank and left it in my bag at home, we went to the province and when I get back it was gone. The person who took the money was the housemaid of my uncle who lived near our house. We did not file any police report. She eventually ran away with my money. My aunt was supporting her and believed she was innocent and even accused my sister as the culprit. Bad aunt.

hi thyst, I am so sorry to hear that from you. Sometimes, because of poverty, people tend to do things which even they know is not right, they still do. Some people tend to involve themselves on something illegal because they cannot find any work. For them, there is no other way out of poverty but to do bad things that will give them good money. Well, I had a part time job when I was a college student. Life is so difficult and my parents are always complaining about money matters. For I not to be a burden on them, I find part time job myself. Luckily, I was hired to be a student assistant in a computer shop. That computer shop is newly established that time and I was the only one on that shop. There are many students that goes there and civilians also. One day, while I am busy doing my work, a customer asked me to type something on the computer. My boss is also selling merchandise outside. So, while I am being asked to type the document someone called my attention. He was buying a paperbag that time. I wasn't aware that they are planning to get my cellphone and wallet. It was too late when I found out my phone and wallet are missing. From that day on, I didn't trust stranger easily.

I had a mobile phone stolen from my work locker a few years back. I was devastated. I could not understand how it was stolen with the security guards only a few feet away. talk about unreliable security. I cried for like hours and nope I never recovered it and the guards did not do anything at all.

Personally all I've had stolen was small things. Jewelry, a nice watch I had bought my husband for Christmas, lots of cash and even my senior year high school yearbook! It was niece stealing it all, she was quite a little kleptomaniac.

My iphone with the charger in the table of the receiving room and a cellphone of my daughter in a divider at the same time. I forgot to luck the screened door of my house and I'll just went to the restroom in less than 30 min. its gone. I reported to the guard but nothing happened. So I'll take as an experience and take extra care not to happen again.
