Sorry to hear about your friend. I think too many people these days are too trusting. You should always be careful and always protect yourself.

Oh yeah, my purse was stolen once, but  I had my clutch purse in my hand as I was getting ready to pay for the items I had bought, so they did not get much.  But the worst was my apartment was broken into and they ripped me off big time.  My son was with me at work and when I brought him home I just let him out and went back as I still had a lot to do. Thank God that he did not walk in on them. I got to work and found he had called and I had to turn around and go back home to meet with the cops. Everything is material except my child. We never did find any of it. Must have taken it to a bigger city to *bleep*. Sure glad I had renters insurance and it still did not pay for a lot of it.

Yes many years ago teenagers broke into my house and took a recorder, records and a few other things. I had a feeling who did it and went to there house and ask for my stuff back. After a day I received my stuff back. another time someone stole my pocket book and I laughed because I had nothing but junk in it. It was a joke on them.

I was at a crowded event and a young man walked by and bounced into me, shortly after I noticed I had been robbed $200. He was gone by then.

This happened to me and my mom back in September. We went somewhere during the day for under an hour and our home was robbed. We have since moved out of there. Just have been through it too many times.

My son had his wallet pick pocketed on Thanksgiving night while he was at work at a gas station.  The police took a report, but pretty much told him the same thing.  He lost about $60, his license, his soc. security card, gym membership card and his insurance card.  Was amazing how much trouble it was to replace the social security card!

I once had all of the cash taken out of my wallet, by a security guard! I was at a club and was told (after I had already purchased an entrance fee) that I couldn't take my hat into the club, and were I to leave to put it in the car, I'd have to pay again. That pissed me off, so I said to the guard that I thought they should have at least posted their dress policy before people paid for their cover charge. His response was "Have a nice night." Since that has nothing to do with what I had just said, I thought he just didn't hear me over the music, so I was about to cup my hands around my mouth to make what I was saying louder. I must've moved too quickly or something, because the guard then grabbed my arms, spun me to the ground, handcuffed me, and too my wallet out of my pocket to get my ID. He then took my wallet into a back room (supposedly to make a copy of my ID, since they were now black-listing me from the club), and when he returned it I no longer had any cash on me (even though we had specifically stopped at an ATM just minutes before going into the club). I saw a cop had rolled up outside the club (probably because they called them about a "violent guest"), so decided to try talking with the cop. But they told me that unless I actually witnessed the guard taking the money, there was nothing that they could do. Grrr...

Yes, I have and it is not a good feeling.  I don't wish that on my worst enemy.  Thank God I was not at home.

Oh yes - the house that I live in while in my teens was robbed during Christmas. We were completely shocked.

I have not actually been robbed but there was an occasion a few months ago when I was trying to buy flights but could not because my credit card company had stopped my card. When I called up about it they said they were questionning a purchase made over the internet for $1,100 from a top fashiong retailer. I told them I had not made any such purchase and they asked if there was anyway my husband might have a surprise up his sleeve for me! I laughed, if you knew my husband he would never dare spent this much money without consulting me first. The bank was really good about it, closed my card off and that was that! Thank goodness for the fraud dept at my bank!
