Have you been a victim of crime?

My parents were robbed and murdered when i was 13.

I was robbed once but luckily I was not home at the time.

Many many times and I am lucky to be here I tell you.

I was attacked in Miami and our apartment in Milan was burgled years ago, we also had one car stolen, also in Milan.

I had a house once where I was only living in it at the weekends. I was single then, and it was easier to live with my Mum still, and commute into my work from there. People must have been watching my habits, and I was robbed. The sad part was that I had major security on that house, window bars, and the like, but I could tell from the muddy footprints, going right through the house on the floors, and the carpet, that the kid was only young, maybe only 5, or 6 years of age. The larger size footprints at the window that was forced open, to squeeze his kid though, showed that a parent was behind this robbery, and my large CD collection, and player, were wrapped in my expensive doona, that my mother had given to me as a housewarming present, and shoved out of the window to the waiting father. After that robbery, I bit the bullet, and moved in full time to my house. He was never caught of course, and probably now, his young son, is caught up in a life of crime now too, as he started at such an early age, taught by his father how to rob.

Am sorry that happened......well I never experienced anything such, but have been pickpocketed more than couple of times....

I have been the victim of crime on more than one occasion. Each time, I felt like I was the one being treated like a criminal and not taken seriously. Years ago, we had some items stolen from our garden. Despite the thieves being known to the police and us providing evidence, we were told nothing could be done. That was just one incident. Thankfully, I've never been a victim of violent crime or anything like that. The most worrying thing for me is knowing that the people who are supposed to protect you choose not to believe you.

Thankfully this never happened to me. That's so frightening

Sorry to hear about it but I am fortunate that nothing like this ever happened with me.

I agree it is creepy.

thankfully I did not experienced that

That is scary. Yes, I have been and the person who trashed my home was never found. Not long ago, I found out my older son was involved in the crime, even though he wasn't there, he was with us for my grandson's first birthday party, so I didn't know he was part of what happened.

I was once held up at a gasoline station working as a cashier on the midnight shift when a customer fired a shot at the bulletproof window after not paying for his gasoline bill.

I got into the company car at the last moment for official work. I shared it to get dropped at an office. There were some labor issues and a few accosted the car and soon I was injured from a sharp stone thrown at the Director who was with me. It could have even killed me but I got away without major injury. I dread to recall that incident that happened nearly fifty years ago

Got robbed of my mobile phone.

Yup and bought the t shirt.

That would have been an awful experience. Thankfully, and touch wood, we haven't had anything like that happen here.

That is horrible that he was under attack like that, and you had to be there too. Why people are so filled with hate boggles my mind everyday.

My family was robbed a few years ago. The (insert whatever cuss word you want to use) even reached over a baby crib (with the child in it) to grab an Ipad. They were really silent and managed to rob us with 7 adults in the house and 4 dogs. I am still on edge about it. My eldest was a victim of multiple types of abuse at the hands of a significant other. And before anyone asks, yes she said I could post it. She actually has used the experience to help others who are in the same position and follows the it didn't kill me it made me stronger mind set.
