Poor Buddy

I have this person whom was known in mylot as rberon1985, he used to be active here and was one of the active user that likes to meet up other mylotters. I feel sad for him because he had been in sort of bad luck these days, he was robbed the first time. And now I've looked through his photos and he got robbed again, not that it surprises me, the lock he used was easy to crack and ripped of. I wonder what would you do if you were in that situation, either some one knew him and stalking him.

I know what I would do but it may not be allowed where he lives. Am I right that you live in the same area? Could you entice him to come back to mylot? At the very least he has friends here and that should cheer him a little.

@Letranknight2015 That is sad. I find the friends here to be a great comfort at times, We'll keep him in our prayers.

No, he lives somewhere in the metro and areas that gangs and crooks are mostly active. although there are crooks here, they wouldn't dare since i got dogs both front and back. there's no way they could enter with out being called the cops.i thin\k he has too many problems just to consider going back to mylot

I remember @rberon1985. I'm sorry that he's had such bad luck. It certainly sounds as if he was targeted by the same thief, from what you say. This does happen quite a lot.

I couldn't say a thing to comfort the guy. a lot of his friends advise him to move but he's living in a property that he owns and would not adjust because of those crooks. some one must have really been stalking him for the past few days, I think they could seeing his facebook as well.

It's sad when these things happen. Those criminals have to be apprehended but then again, the justice system in our country is nonexistent.

Oh yes, I do recall rberon. He had a toon animated avatar (probably in yellow). Though we rarely interacted but I do recollect that he was mostly found on discussions from many senior lotters. I feel sad to read that he has been the target of thugs and robbers and despite being hit by a burglary the first time, he did not care to change the lock. I wonder if he is all okay as this behavior seems odd to me. But on the other hand, I also am a believer of luck and that side tells me that when things are destined to go awry, the right thoughts dont normally come to the brain. There was a burglary at my place sometime before we all departed from MyLot. But yes, I did learn my lessons, and today, I do ensure to close all the windows and even lock the door from inside - despite it having a facility to bolt it from inside. I was all alone that night and in deep sleep. The thief could have done anything to me. So I have become more careful.

@Letranknight2015 I believe he got busy in the real world. But he can surely hop on to the new MyLot at least once a week (if he is that busy and occupied, which is always good) and I am certain he would find some positivity around. Yesterday on a discussion I read a good sentence - It is always better not to tempt fate. It is good that you have become more careful and I do wish that you do not get into troubles and stay safe my friend.

That is awful there, how I wish some one was there for you. But Im glad your alive here and you are more vigilant now than ever. well, he's busy with a lot of things lately that he rarely chats with mylotters. right now, I am being careful with our house and hopes no one would take chances here.

@thesids oh yes he did got busy , hard to believe after he got into the bpo a lot of things came into him. but i guess he didn't have the good vibes lately. well, I've always been in the comfort zone.

I do not remember him, but I sympathize with him, as I have had two burglary attempts this year.

@Letranknight2015 I came here only in 2010, it may explain why I do not remember him. I have the feeling that many members from your country here are working in call centers ?

I think he was here early around 2006 or something but some how he got tired and stopped after 2010 as well. he used to make really cool post but he's busy now with many other things and works in the call center. I would go paranoid if i were him.

that is awful, when the one who is robbing you is actually someone you know. I do not know rberon1985, but i feel bad for him. The lock you mean, is that for his house? maybe he should buy a more sturdy one, it might be expensive, but it is a good investment. I am quite confident our house won't be robbed unless the robber has some really strong tools or drilling stuff.

@Letranknight2015 he did what, exposes a brand new laptop??? Why would he even do that, facebook is quite public, that is like tempting thieves to get those gadgets.

He should have add more locks than the one that looked like guessing numbers but instead the guys who robbed him just ripped it off. I think he has the money to buy them, I should have suggested something. maybe it was a mistake for him to expose his new laptop or money related things in facebook

Yeah we all feel sad about his situation, I've noticed him being online but i was reluctant to talk about it with him knowing that it was a painful experience. thsi is the second time he got robbed of a laptop i think

Sorry to hear that but he should be more careful. After one robbery, he should know better.

I think he is more careful because right now he's not uploading anything...

No he didn't come back. he was too busy with his job and see it in his updates.

Being robbed for how many times is something he should analyze . Maybe he is posting about where he is going and what's happening in his life that's why he is followed at once by robbers.
• Philippines

I think he did post the new laptop in his facebook account, it's possible that he is being followed there too. or it can be that his lock wasn't secure enough, it was clear that the lock was cut...

I do remember this friend Letran. Is he still on here? I must find him. I am so sorry to read of what happened to the poor friend myLotter. Hope that he will be safe where he is. That is an awful thing to happen to him. I hope nothing bad more will happen.

@Letranknight2015 Yes he does need to do something to be safer Letran. I found him on here and sent message.

No he's not although i think he's been told that mylot starts paying again, it's just that he's busy with other things. I think some one has put a link on him here in one of the responders. well, he needs to improve his security if he chose not to leave, this is the second time.
