Yes it was when I was a teen though about 12-14 years old some ex friends took my money and laptop and said someone else stole it, I did get it back at the end because I found it hidden in there cabinet.

I have.  I made the mistake of leaving my purse in a company car.  I thought I had locked the doors, but I guess I didn't.  When I came out someone had been in my wallet and stole the cash.  It was much, but it still made me mad, especially since the car was parked in front of city hall, which was who I worked for and the police station was next door.

not personally, but years ago my parents were...my mom accidentally left the keys in door to the house, so someone entered in the middle of the night and took a bunch of stuff...fortunately, it was just money and we weren't harmed

Years ago while living in an apartment complex I was robbed.  ALL of my jewelry.  I mean stuff that was given to me over the course of years from the time I was 8 years old.  Best part of this was that it was someone with a master key!  This person or persons took their sweet time in my apartment, even enjoying themselves while they were there!  The door to my stereo cabinet was open and on a different station!  They knew exactly when people were working because they worked for the apartment complex!  It wasn't until I went looking for my gold watch to wear that I noticed everything else was gone, too.  Then I heard that I wasn't the only person in the complex that got robbed.  LOTS of people experienced the same entry - master key!!  I reported all of my items to the police, but never got anything back.  Every one of the items taken had HUGE sentimental value to me.  I get angry to this day thinking about it.

Want to know the kicker of this story?  About 25 years later, yes, 25 YEARS, I was trolling eBay.  Guess what I found for sale through an antique jewelry dealer?  MY GOLD WATCH!  I know it was mine because they had photos posted of it and it specifically stated that the watch was made for "a person with a small wrist."  That watch was given to me by my parents when I graduated high school.

I've had my purse stolen while I was at work, my credit cards stolen some years later at another job (by a trusted co-worker), and collectibles stolen by a tenant.  Much earlier, in our first house that we bought, we had two break-ins while we were at work.  The first time a TV was stolen and the second time, two pistols.  In all of these I had that awful feeling of being violated.  Many years later, though, when TVs got smaller and smaller, I had to laugh at how hard our TV must have been to get out of the house.  It was huge and weighed a ton.

Two houses that I lived in got broken into.  One happened when I was a kid they stole a tv and a stereo my brother bought me for either my birthday or xmas can't remember which one.  The other time we were selling the house and has a lock box for the key and they got in and stole some jewelry my favorite aunt gave me when I was a kid and a bracelet my grandmother gave to my mother that my mother gave to me.  They weren't worth much at all it was the sentimental value that mattered most.

Our home was broken into about 3 years ago, no one was ever caught, nor did we get anything back. They took 2 lap tops, loose change; idiots left about 300 in cash and fortunately missed my wedding and engagement ring.

[SherylsShado]

no, my car was ransacked a few months ago but nothing was missing. 

[newmom2814]

I couldnt imagine going through some of the things that were posted on here... ive never gone through something like that. to the original poster im sorry to hear about her purse. Ive heard about things like that happening a lot in clubs though sad to say.. some og these responses i must say make me want to not carry a purse! Especially the woman who said her co-workers stole out of her purse! oh my goodness! i cant believe all this happened to you guys :/

Since I have been in the USA only once someone broke into my husband's car and stole the briefcase he had left there by mistake, they did not take much since it only had papers LOL, the only good thing was a cell phone, but I mean this was maybe 15 years ago, and the phone was big and we suspended the line right away,

But yes I was mugged once back home, I was walking from the hair salon to the car and a guy came ripped a necklace out of my neck and kept going, I was shocked but the necklace was gold and my hubby replace it for me.

[sexyivy_1]

no ive never been robbed before but my wife was stuck at gun point about a year ago

[loulizlee]

I've never heard of anyone getting their stuff back after it was stolen, except for big, big heists.  I don't think the police have much to go on, and they have other matters that, to them, are priority.
