I was Robbed!!
-
On Wednesday night after work, I went to the train station to buy a rail card to Uni. While signing some forms, i put my wallet down in front of me, not realising what fate had in store for me. Moments later a guy was trying to reach for some leaflet next to me, unknown to me, he was in fact actually nicking my wallet right in front of my eyes. Today being Friday, i have just got a phone call to say that my wallet has been found outside the train station in the car pack All the money is gone, but at least my cards and driving licience etc is still there, thats the main thing. Would have been such a hassle to get evreything changed... YIPPEE!! I hope they catch this person, cos there was a camera right behind us filming....watch this space! --- Peter M
I was robbed like that once while playing a video game (early 80's here) when I was 14. I was a newspapaer carrier and they took my money bag that I laid on top of the machine. Problem was that I knew most of them. After a threat to prosecute and a few visits to their parents, I got my money back. A few years later at age 17, the ring leader walked into a liquor store and killed the owner execution style with a gun. He barely escaped a death sentence only because he was 17 and is now in jail for life... Todd

You´re lucky... here they point a gun at you and ask politly to hand over the wallet... if you don´t hand it they kill you.

Your *real* wallet and your *mugged* wallet.

It's a term for a "debit card" that can retrieve money from a cash machine. Cheers, Tom Archer Author - Inside C#, Visual C++.NET Bible
