Same here. It was my sister actually.

what happened 2 your relationship???? r u still close??? do u talk 2 her??? and why did your sis do that 2 u?????

At the time it happened she was 16,and dating a real loser,we all hated him. He moved away,but they still wrote to each other,I guess he told her to take the money so she could get a bus ticket,and go be with him. My Mom found the $500 in her room. When I found out it was mine,I had her arrested.

Are we still close? Well she lives with me and yes we talk. She still harbors guilt over it,but I have forgiven her,and trust her now.

I know how you feel, and been there. The person who took my gold watch, cash, and my daughter's gold bangle when she was a little girl, in my former place of residence was family members as well. I didn't want to say too much, and I forgive them Plus, everyone is doing well for themselves.

Oh, heck yeah. Several times in The Big Apple (NYC). I had two gold nameplates snatched off of my neck on broad day light. One had diamonds on it, one was plain. Also, I was on my way to work at night, I had a sapphire and diamond ring, some cash, and I believe a gold necklace, and a man walked up to me, appeared to be strapped and told me to give him everything I got. I did without a fight. At home, a gold watch and cash. I used to wear a lot of jewelry, but that changed.

did u report it??? did they ever find the thieves??? esp the stabbed guy, he should have easily been caught!!!

i'd b 2 scared 2 go out at night in NYC ~ esp on my own!!! and i've never been there, its just from the stories i hear

Yes, the police took my report, and since I worked for the police department at the time, they notified my commanding officer, then combed the area. No luck. When I got to work that night, the sergeant saw that I wasn't well focused, so he told me a few hours break in the lounge, but eventually I got through the hurdle. He said I should have stayed home. NYC can be a wonderful place, a city that never sleeps You just have to be more alert, especially at night.

I didn't know them and wouldn't recognize them today.

I'd hope that sort of thing was unusual enough in their lives that they'd never forget it. But, sadly, it could have been so commonplace that it escapes their minds over two decades later.

not long ago i bumped into this woman at a cafe, she actually recognised me, i was with my kids and she was with hers.

she used to be the biggest bully at school!!! so she comes up to me and says excuse me r u........from.......... and i said yes, trying to work out who she was cause she had put on heaps of weight and looked like my mother, anyway she calls her kids over and tells them "THIS IS MY HIGH SCHOOL FRIEND"

u wish u fat cow... u wish i said 2 myself!!!

so anyway, her kids r talking to my kids, she is talking 2 me, asking me if i remember this... if i recall that........ so i just had to do it and asked her if she remembers being the school bully

it was very quiet for about 5 minutes

I'm a proponent of ultimate forgiveness. But a lil' stewing in consequences in the meantime can be sooo carthartic.

When I was in Madrid with a girlfriend a couple of months ago, some old fat lady wanted to grab something out of my girlfriend's handbag.

We were on the tube and it was very crowded. Three other fat women stood next to us and one of them was standing on my feet and no matter how much I tried to move back, she would always get closer (with her back facing me) and stomp on my feet, as if it were unintetionally.

I saw that other fat woman standing close to my girlfriend and raising her hand towards her bag and trying to open it.

I'm not too proud of this and it was just my very first reaction, but I quickly pulled her arm away and pushed her against the door (the others ran away in the meantime) and she started to swear at me, as if I was the one to do harm and pretend she didn't do anything. Her lying made me so angry I took her, slapped her face and pushed her out of the metro so hard she fell on the ground and a huge bag from underneath her clothes full of mobile phones and wallets opened and all the items fell on the floor.

The door closed and the train proceeded. Some people were extremely shocked, others saw what exactly went down and just gave me a nod. Nobody said a thing.

I was robbed twice when I worked in a convenience store in the 1990s. I was also carjacked once in the 1990s. And people wonder why I hate the 1990s so much.

My last incident was probably around 2005 or so. I had been over to a friend's house drinking vodka and when I left his house, I still wasn't ready to go to bed so I stopped in a convience store around 2 in the morning and picked up a 12 pack of beer on the way home. When I was walking to my car, I was holding my wallet and the 12 pack in one hand while I was unlocking my car door with my other hand. These damn thugs came running towards me as fast as they could from across the street and one of them put his hand on my wallet as he was running by which made me jump and drop the 12 pack of beer on the ground. He didn't take it but as they were walking down the street, they were laughing and he said to the others "Did you see how that damn faggott jumped". Well, that pissed me off to NO end and I had been drinking vodka too. I thought to myself "These little bastards are awful brave talking that shit and they're walking and I'm in a car". I cranked that damn car up and drove up the street where they were walking and then I swurved the car up in the grass like I was going to run over them. They started running and I started driving faster. The faster they ran, the faster I drove. Then, they came to the entrance of some apartments and started running through the parking lot. I threw one of the beers as hard as I could and hit the bastard that grabbed for my wallet as hard as I could dead in the center of his back. I could hear it when it hit too. Then I yelled out the window...."Did you see that trash run scared for his life? You better be scared because this faggott will KILL your motherfucking ass!".

I hope Whitney wasnt playing on the radio when you were robbed at work. And that takes a lot of nerve chasing people.
