Happened a lad I know on the bus in London. Wallet, iPhone, blackberry for work all gone when he woke up at the end of the line.
Three times.
yeah, that’s the spot…mind you I was gone 30 blocks past it that stage…
Without an arse in your trousers.
or the fare home
Was on a painting job in San Francisco and a Mexican cunt robbed my credit card. It was my last day on the job before going home and that burrito eating rat bastard wracked up 900 quid of petrol fills x 4, stuff from RadioShack and more than I can’t think of the next day. Worked with him no bother for a month before he robbed me. Contacted my old boss when I found out and he sorted him out.
The odd thing in America is in my experience they don’t use chip and pin. Some of the outlet stores or your Macy’s might request some form of ID. But nothing to stop someone from using your card willy nilly.
1989, criminal
Chip and pin slows down the wheels of commerce.
The credit card companies will refund you fairly quickly in most cases. I lost about 7 or 8 credit cards in my time there and the lost card got used the next day on a few occasions. They go into places like Duane Reade and buy a load of shit from the self service check outs. I reported it to HSBC when I sobered up and had my money back within 24 hours most of the time.
Someone robbed the motor from my automatic gate before I moved into my house.
Another time I left the garage open and someone robbed a broken car radio and a mickey mouse electric lawnmower. Following the robbery I bought a proper Biggs & Stratton powered lawnmower.
They did me a favour, the bastards.
Never. I’m too street smart.
Thinly veiled the knackers never rob off their own.
Wrong! People are victims because they are weak and assume they will be fine. Never assume. As a hunter you should be well aware of other predators and take the necessary precautions.
Fair point. I sometimes beat up a random stranger just on the off chance he might be about to mug me. Then I steal his wallet, because, well, it was going that way anyway.

Id say the closest you got to any of that was nicking some knickers off a line and running home to give yourself a low 5
Clean knickers? You idiot, wheres the fun in them when they’re clean?
A French girl stole my heart.
Any man worth his salt would know that…
- Tools stolen in Perth(2-3k) and Boston(1k)
- Car broken into in Dublin, only issue was broken glass
- car keyed in Dublin for no apparent reason
My lady friend was in the cafe across the road last week when it was hit with an armed robbery. They got away with the till and the girl behind the counters bag. Oddly they apologized to her and the patrons and gave her 2 passports, herself and English boyfriends, back after she pleaded for them. Then, which is very strange for seemingly desperate somewhat conscientious armed robbers, they went down the road and went into a load of shops and used he card and were all over the cameras. Really really bizarre and dumb. The cops said they had nothing until they got that, they had done a pretty perfect robbery up to that. 5-10 years they’ll get. Madness.
I kinda would hve been in this boat previously, but when you live in Oz or the states or somewhere where there is high crime and bad drug issues you have to realise that sometimes people are going to take your stuff no matter what.
I had a hat robbed off my head in Limerick city when I was about 14. I chased the fucker as far as the watergate flats where he picked up a rock and threatened to smash my face in. I left it at that. Also got knocked out in a nightclub toilet in an unprovoked (for once) attack. Didn’t do anything about it, a year later I read in the paper he did similar to someone else and they got awarded £3,000.
Don’t forget about the time you were attacked by Shamrock Rovers fans
