Well only if you consider my failure to win the Leng medal a crime, which I do btw!

So I had my wallet stolen the other day which put me in a crappy position for the next week. My first real experience of crime! Anywho have any of you been a victim of crime and if so what?

Yes, my laptop got stolen while I was on holidays in France. They broke into my house while I was gone :p

I've had the F*ck kicked out of me on four seperate occasions.

house broken into, car broken into, and property damage.

fortunately, no one was hurt and what was taken could easily be replaced.

You also had this thread stolen. :p

My beloved VW Bus was vandalized.

I was also mugged by two guys in the suburbs who seriously didn't think shit through. My roommate gave them a cigar and some gum and I walked home with the several hundred dollars I had in my back pocket. First, they didn't bring weapons. Second, they hadn't counted on my roommate being a good five inches taller and three inches broader than them, which still put me as bigger then them, but him as MUCH bigger. Neither of us are 'tough' guys, so he gave up the gum and the cigars just to expedite things. Oh, and they did it on a major road with plenty of traffic. I was 17-18 at the time. Had they tried that now I don't know that I would even have broken stride...

The first time I was attacked was at a busy crossroads. Didn't stop them though :(

*Calls NSG Police*

I know it was you Tapao!

Er... I've had the crap beaten out of me on one occasion. That's it.

Once? Try Four times and see how you feel. It's not great

And all of them were at least three against one

what is this... a contest?

I was beaten up in Kansas visiting a friend.

I was beaten up in New York on the 4th of July.

I was mugged in New Jersey - twice.

I was mugged in Queens - once.

My car has been broken into - twice, and vandalized three times.

I had one attempted robbery.

Why are there so many people being beaten up?

Uhm... I was the "victim" (I don't like that word) of an attempted rape.

Well, I assume it was an attempted rape. It was dark. He was dragging me into more dark. Thank god (I will be thankful for this for the rest of my life), the bus came when it did. Literally... seconds. It was probably a matter of seconds.

You know how you say you'll scream, or fight, or do all those things? You'll resist *somehow*, you'll kick and claw and make noise? No. It doesn't always happen that way. I was in karate for six years. I had my brown belt. And I froze. Completely. Didn't say a word, didn't move a muscle to resist. Just... let it happen, and thought... this isn't happening.

He took off, I didn't call the police, I didn't do anything about it. I *shrugged it off* and went home. Around a week later, I realised what had almost happened, and to be honest, I almost never talk about it. When I do, I usually make it sound like it wasn't a big deal. And really... nothing happened. But that's only because I was fucking lucky.

Alot of people don't know how they'll react to such situations until they get into those situations.

Glad to hear you were relatively unharmed in that encounter. :fluffle:

Got beat up in Junior high -- eight guys against one girl (me).

The assholes were all in my class, and weren't they surprised to all end up in the police station. Gotta love those class directories.

:D

3 attempted muggings and 1 attempted plain old assault. I'd like to have some story about how I beat up all my assailants but really I just had the good sense to leg it and i'm reasonably fast.

At least you had the chance to run
I needed fifteen stitches once they were done with me. And in tune with what Amarenthe said about not acting how you thought you would, I didn't even throw a punch back. I just stood there and took it.

Someone tried to break into my house last night. Which was a bit sad, but there you go.

Outside of that, I've been mugged once in Spain, and got beaten up once here in York.

There we go.

I've never been the victim of anything I care about enough to call a crime. I suppose I could say I got beat up once, but I'd be kind of sort of ignoring that I was egging him on and I probably would have gone to court too if I had pressed charges.

Basically, I was making fun of the biggest toughest kid in the entire school for like, two months because it was hilarious. I wasn't really expecting it to tell the truth, I finished my shit-talking, sat down, and continued to eat my lunch. Then he came up behind me and threw me out of my seat, and started to punch my head for a couple minutes. I resisted, but he was punching me while I was on the ground (dick move rite?), and I really COULDN'T get up. The principal eventually pulled him off me, and by then I noticed I broke my nose. When I saw all the blood, I laughed. It was quite the big deal around here, even bigger because no one knew who I was. I was the new kid in the school, did I mention that?

My first real experience of crime! Anywho have any of you been a victim of crime and if so what?I've been on the receiving end of what is called "dangerous assault" over here. A juvenile in the place I used to work threw a stick at my head and hit me with it. The cops later told me that that constitutes dangerous assault on account of the real possibility of my eye being put out.

I'm not sure you could call it theft, but I once left my bag in a taxi (after coming back from the airport after a holiday) and whoever booked the same taxi next took it and never returned it, despite it having several forms of identification on/in it.

I got my pocket picked when I was in Rome. I think it happened when I was on the bus and a surge of people pushed past me so I had to grab onto the pole to keep from falling out the door. It was shitty, but I hadn't been bringing all my money with me so it wasn't too bad.

I got pickpocketed in France two years ago, but I managed to chase to guy down and make him give it back. My hotel room in Germany got robbed too, but whoever robbed it didn't make off with too much...just some clothes and a little bit of cash.

My friend's apartment in Queens got "robbed" a few months ago while I was staying the night. The robber was quite drunk, waving a pistol around and demanding beer. My friend, despite being a dainty little white girl, punched the guy in the face; the robber promptly ran away. It turns out the gun wasn't loaded.

Lucky for her it wasn't, imagine she got shot, which isn't to hard to imagine if he was already drunk, it might have been better to just give him some beer.

When I was a kid I got kicked in the head by another kid. Strangly enough it didn't hurt, just made me dizzy for a few seconds. But I suppose thats not really a crime, so nevermind.

uhh...I've had a couple of threads stolen from me, and uh....one time in elementary school someone stole one of my pokemon cards.....

uhh....thats about it....

Invite him to join you for one. Then call the cops once he passes out.

I've prevented two fights, (although it was only teenagers with too much agro i think i deserve a little credit) oh and when i was like 14 i tried to fight another kid who was bullying me, he left me alone after that, then got punched in the nose once while playing football, didn't get a chance to punch back as the "fight" was immediately stopped. Out of the 4 fights i've mentioned i've become friendly with 2 of the people, must be the diplomat in me (or wimp).
Umm i know someone who tried to commit suicide, but the police found the person before it was too late, i think that's sorted out now, i worked with the person, a nice person too.
I've had hate mail, hate phone calls, threats by some nasty guy who was dating my sister (and still is sadly:(, but i won't cry at his funeral, bastard), he suffered from post-traumatic stress, now it's diagnosed as bipolar disorder, my sis still doesn't realise she's dating a nasty guy.

Sorry to bring down the thread guys, just typing out my thoughts.
It's not all bad, well i live in hope (i love that illusion of hope).

Well, someone pulled a hit-and-run on my car in a parking lot. Other than that, no.

a few times. The one that pissed me off the most is when someone broke into my apartment and stole my Gibson, my Les Paul, my good amp, my computer and my 350 CDs.

not cool.

or........the time a drunk driver sideswiped my new camaro and left the scene......that sucked.

i got beaten up in front of two policemen once. and i had my car broken into and a bag stolen that had my passport, my camera and my work uniform in it. the bag wasn't visible but yeh, i should have taken it out.

I was mugged once, they got away with a £5 note and a day-ticket for the buses.

I've been assaulted twice, one walking home from the city centre, I class that one as a draw as he got as much back as he gave. The second time was near where I used to work. I pretty much won that one, not hard when you're almost a foot taller and twice as heavy as your attacker though.

I guess I've been quite lucky so far, knock on wood.

No.
probably, but I wanted to have my posts at these moments say only 'no'.
er, yes. Been hit by a bus, a roommate probably stole ~$15 (a lot of money here)...

Is manslaughter a crime?


Oh, wait...victim.

when i was 12 a bunch of 7 guy of approximately the same age i guess tried to steal my wallet. One of them stepped forward to take it, and since i didn't wanted to he gave me a but on the head, well my head bounced against a wall and back to his head... He turned white, while i asked "what" and all 7 went away peacefully >:-) power to the peaceful ones >:-)

A bike stolen here, a gaybashing/hate crime there. Nothing out of the ordinary.

My house was broken into a few years ago & the PS/2, TV, CD player, etc was stolen. I didn't mind too much as I got them all back on the insurance. I would have been gutted if they'd taken my CDs too, as some of them would have been very difficult/impossible to replace, but they didn't touch them.

what is this... a contest?

Yes. You win if you were the victim of the most horrible crime.

I don't think I've ever been a crime victim. All the fights I've been in were in elementary school, so my superior size made self defence and retaliation easy.

Assuming that there has to be a victim for a crime to occur... I've smoked cannabis. :D

Had my credit card numbers stolen off my banks website, they used it to purhase $300 + worth of porn on the web.

I used to do websites independantly for people. I was hired to do 30 web templates for $100 each. Upon completion I was presented with a $3,000 check from Bank of America. The check was fake, I was almost charged criminally for cashing it. Fortunaly I had not spent any of the money and was able to provide proof (in the form of e-mail corrospondance and a mailing address) that I was not the perpetrator.

Most major banks will not let me open an account now.

Thanks. :)

I just try and tell people, when they say, "No, I know I'd scream, someone would hear," that it's so much easier to say before you get in that situation. I'm not saying they wouldn't; I'm just saying you never know. There is nothing that makes of for a lack of common sense and precaution - neither of which I necessarily displayed that night, and like I said, I have no problem admitting that I was damn lucky that night and not much else. Certainly wasn't very smart.

But it's been months, now. I don't think about it too much.

I've had 3 burglaries, 1 unarmed robbery, and 1 armed. In the case of the unarmed robbery, I still think the punk was bluffing about having a knife, and he wasn't big enough to take me without one, but I didn't want to take the risk over a cheap watch.

Well, I got 7 shades beaten out of me because I was wearing glasses that weren't like Harry Potter's.

Right in front of a security guard who did sweet Fanny Adams.

I forgot my bag filled with Christmas cards and a cookie on a coffee shop table for two seconds. Turned around and it was gone. I hate poor people who find it necessary to steal like that.

Lessee here.. when I was 8 and on vacation in Mexico with my family, this old lady stole my purse and the $60 allowance I'd saved for months for the trip. :( Attempted rape twice, had my wallet and Mil ID stolen from my vehicle (luckily not the uniform)... Oh and assault. Been on both the giving and receiving end while working as a bouncer. What kind of drunk asshole hits a girl anyway?

Oh wait, there was also that time in Belfast this July. I knew traveling during the marching season was a bad idea..

I've gotten beaten up a few times in my life, nothing too serious though. And some **** stole my money after I paid him to pick-up for me. I'm still looking to beat his ass.

Im only a teenager so not much could've happened.I've been in one fight against some dirty knacker, that was basically a draw and another knack punched me in the face.

Me and three friends(two were kind wusses and wouldnt help and the other was a girl who at least tried to stop him lol) were walkin down a road in the estate next to ours and these two knacks were behind us a bit and kicked a ball at us but missed for the second time, I turned and said "could ye two wee fellas leave us alone?"(they were a year younger and quite small but fairly tough and agrressive)The irish one told his friend(asian or something) that I called him small, he asked me what I said I repeated it and he punched me, I was dizzy for like two seconds 'cause I didnt see it coming then I laughed and walked on.Then they followed me for ages asking to fight me I kept sayin no and when I reached a dead end I hopped the wall through a field and walked home.


Thats quite a long story

Oh wait, there was also that time in Belfast this July. I knew traveling during the marching season was a bad idea..

Always a bad idea, you should see Portadown :rolleyes:

What happened in Belfast?

What happened in Belfast?

Let's just say that whilst traveling between Belfast and Derry we stopped in a Loyalist town to see the pile of wood for the bonfire. The person we were with found out we'd never seen that, and was determined to enlighten us. Anyway, some local shites found out we were of an opposing point of view, and unpleasantness ensued.

yay more Irish people Im from clare anyway what did they do beat the crap outta you?

Yeah always best to keep political views well hidden

They tried. The person we were with was smart enough to get us away before anything serious happened. More specifically, before we had a chance to retaliate.

Yeah always best to keep political views well hidden

Exactly, keep quiet and don't give anything anyway. I learnt that the hard way

Yeah always best to keep political views well hidden

I tried! I really did! I've avoided Belfast all my life because I know how I get sometimes. It was a situation I just didn't need to put myself in. Old habits die hard I guess.

Yeah I dont think Id last long in loyalist areas of Northern Ireland:p

Why? I have no real problems in the republican areas. Just don't cause a fuss about it and keep your religious or political beliefs to yourself

Edit: Although looking at your location your accent would give you away

I was drugged and mugged on a beach in Thailand. Two weeks prior to that I had to fight off about six Vietnamese prostitutes as they attempted to pickpocket me and my very, very drunk friend. Apart from that, only ever small stuff like getting jumped in a town centre whilst with a group of mates and being decked in a club.
