Have you ever been robbed?

I wanted to make this a poll, but fuck it.

Have you ever been robbed? Where? Why? Was it scary?

I've personally been robbed once (in Buenos Aires, Argentina), by four young guys (16-17 years old) with a gun. I was stupid, of course, walking straight onto a dark street right next to a railway into a crowd of boys. Not very street smart, I know. I was extremely scared by the gun, and felt almost paralyzed when they took my stuff, really bizarre.

I've also been attempted robbed a second time, but we managed to escape (the guy who tried to rob us pretended to pull out a gun of his pants when we ran, but luckily for us, he didn't have any). This was in Florianopolis in Brazil, and came as lighting from clear sky on a sunny day, just a lad passing by having a go at us. He threatened to kill us, and told us to run away as far and quickly as possible if we didn't want his gang to kill us. This was very scary for me.

Ever since those two incidents, I've been far more wary when walking out in deserted streets and back allies, especially at night. Although nothing has ever really happened since (this was in 2007).

Have you ever been robbed? How did you experience it?

Most thieves are scum.

One for the good guys this...

I don't live in the best estate ever. So as you can imagine the looks little shites are a nightmare at the best of times. One time, a few years back, I went down for a glass of water at like 3 am. Kitchen was light off but I could see some fuck trying to breaking into my garden shed.
Fuck that.
Trainers on, out the front door and I hopped over the side gate. There was a shovel next to the gate as I climbed over...

I came around to the back of the house, he was still there. I said "boo" he leaped into the air like a cat and tried to run. He just got to my back wall when I hit him. Gong went the shovel and crack went his shoulder blade. He fell off the wall into the garden of the house behind mine and kept running.

A few days later I heard I had cracked his shoulder blade and was telling people that I was bollock naked beating him with the shovel while he tried to fight me.

Not had much trouble since

that's funny you mention getting robbed in bueno's aires, i went there a coupla weeks ago actually and low and behold some guy TRIED to rob me, well not directly me he actually tried to rob my mate, anyway's we were in some bar having a few too many pints of quilmes (is that what you drank there cause it seemed to be quite popular?), anyway some retarded robber comes along and starts looking all nervous and shit and starts reading his book or pretending to, me being quite observant start watching him to see what he's doing, i notice him pulling my friends strap on his camera bag with his foot gradually pulling it towards him, so i get up getting ready to go "what the fuck are you doing!?" but as soon as i get up he darts it without the camera, freakin tard.

Also went to Monte video in Uruguay not knowing what to expect, get there the place is a fuckin DUMP! tramps and shit all over the place and a fuck load of stray dogs (tend to get loads in south America also in Bueno's) anyway my friend starts taking pictures of random shit with his £2000 (rough estimate) really nice camera and we get to this park with one trampy looking dude holding a cane with his dog walking around, he goes crazy and starts yelling at us telling us to put the camera away and explains tourists have been shot just for shit like cameras and stuff and he shows me his mace and cane full of lead to knockout mo fo's with.
Anyway my friend's like "fuck it" just waltz's off taking shot's, also bumped into this one legged guy who followed us for like 2 hours but he seemed cool.

Hehe, funny you say that, the second guy who tried to rob us went for my buddy's camera, I think that was what attracted him in the first place. And yes, Quilmes indeed! Liked it at first, but got a bit bland after a few months of being there.

You're a hero.

I got robbed gunpoint by 2 guys walking home a while back, the idiots took my phone and although I had headphones in and my mp3 player in my pocket, they ran off after grabbing the phone. The guy with the gun got my phone and told the other guy to get the rest but he just stood and looked at me for a minute then ran away. Bit scary due to the fact that 2 tall ass, built dudes with guns walk up to me smokin' a blunt and guzzlin vodka, dunno how fucked up they are. Other than that I was more pissed than scared...having to stand in the street in broad daylight being made somebodies bitch, lol.

Been jumped a few other times but not for much, weed issues and shit. Took up to age 16 to finally get the fuck out of there.

My parents house once got robbed but never me personally.

Though on the N29 once some guy pulled a knife on me and my mates and we were so pissed-up we were just like "c'mon bruv, you're not gonna shank all 5 of us on the fucking bus and get away with it."

He looked pretty embarrassed with himself and slunk off at Holloway Road.

Thank god in this country (UK) you don't see that often

This....

My stories pretty lame, many moons ago i went to Homelands and decided munching my way through my pills was the best way to start the proceedings needless to say i was proper fucked and i lost my mates so i decided to call them.
No sooner had i started dialling some chavvy tnuc ran passed me and grabbed my phone surprisingly i automatically started chase but being so mullered i ran through a large group of people inadvertently kicking about three of them in the head...so they started chasing me. Meanwhile the chav handed off the phone to a mate and slid to the ground and put his arms up ..."look no phone"... .......I booted him as hard as i could in his gut..

so now behind me i had a group of people wanting to kick my head in for...kicking their heads..and in front of me a group of chavs who wanted to kick my head in for kicking their mate in the gut............
Just then a policeman ran over (The first and only time i've been glad to see a copper!)

Needles to say i spent the next hour in the police tent Literally eating my own face off talking absolute bollocks to a group of police while plundering their huge bowl of mints..........

Only time I have ever been bounced was when I was 14, twice within the space of half hour!

Was going to a place in Reading called Dellas. Just outside I got stopped by two mateys on a bike, one pulled a blade on me and told me to give him my wallet, so I didnt really question n did. After they had cycled off went and told the guys shotting what had happened - they had security round the area, sometimes when ppl got bounced they got their shit back! Not me tho was unlucky-.
So im gutted, lost 20 quid, my wallet, all my cards.....
Walking back towards the station. Im vexed. Go down this short cut to the station past the prison and Abbey ruins. Get stopped again! three mateys this time, ask me for a ciggy 2 begin with. I tell them I dont have any (this was true) and the hassle starts. Ends up with matey tellign me to give him my wallet or shits going down. I tell him my predicament, 'look mate, you gotta be taking the piss, I got robbed about 5 mins ago by dellas, I dont have nething!'
They nick my phone

Havent been robbed since, touch wood I won't!

I know one matey who got robbed of his shoes

Walking through Croydon as a teen I could almost guarentee someone would try it on me. I boxed at the time and always had to much pride so would never back down, my mentality was that if there was 1 person id play scared and then hit themn as hard as I could. If there were 2 people id do the same, hit the biggest as hard as I could and then lay into the second one. If there was more than 2 id hit the biggest and, er, run like the wind lol As long as I got the first punch in and got away with my belongings I didnt care.

Hasnt happened on the street for years now but, as some of you know, 4 guys tried to rush my house about 4 months ago. I managed to fight them off so only one got in and only took a mobile phone but I got stabbed twice in the rumble. It was very unexpected but I wasnt at all scared or shaken and managed to give a good fight back. Being stabbed doesnt hurt all that bad either although it was in fleshy parts so im pretty lucky.

That actually brings back memories of a running gang beef I had when I was younger after 5 guys tried to rob me at the local chicken shop. Being me I couldnt back down but this time I couldnt run either so rocked it out like a man until a Jamiacan guy on a bike came and broke it up. I offered the biggest guy a one on one, gave the guy on the bike my designer jacket to hold (bit of a risk in hind sight lol) and watched as I then pounded the bullies lips and nose into his face, pulling away any of the guys who tried to jump in.
I then put my coat back on, thanked the guy (I actually saw him again and used to pick up from him on a regular) and walked back to my road. Then proceded a series of tooled up gang fights, most of which we won, ending in me and my 2 brothers getting a knock on the door one evening only to face about 30 snarling dudes. We casually but stupidly closed the front door behind us and ran into a battle we will never forget like summin out of Braveheart. Needless to say we got the shit kicked out of us, I got hit in the head with the claw end of a hammer. I wanted to kill someone after that being the raged teen I was but my mum told us we were lucky to be alive so we decided to leave it at that.

I had too much pride to be scared and continued to walk around my ends like nothing had happened, black eyes and all. About 3 days later I went back to that same chicken shop and there they was again. The guy whose face I had pounded walked up to me and I just thought 'oh no, here we go again' and was ready to lash out but he just held out his hand and spudded me for my bravery. From then on me and my brothers got nothing but respect from these boys.
