Hi,Mylotters! Just a couple of days ago,I got my bike stolen.It is still brand new and works great.I put it near the bus station since my friend got there early and I didn't want him to wait(it took some time to go to the bus station from my dormitory).Then we went to have lunch and then we stayed in a bar to catch up.About four hours later,I went to the bus station to see him off,I couldn't find my bike any more.I held my emotions because I didn't want him to feel guilty.But when he got on the bus,I couldn't help feeling sorry for my dear bike any more.I love it very much,it has my favourite color and is absolutely awesome.It cost 360 CNY when I bought it.I know it may not be expensive to some of rich people,but to me,it means half of my spending for a month.I had it for less than one year.And then in one class,my teacher told us that she once got her bike stolen just on the next day she bought it.I hate those thieves! So how about you?Have you ever got stolen?How did you feel?

Some years ago, my car got stolen, luckly I recovered it that very same day. Less than a year went by, and it got stolen again ... recovered that same day. Eventually car was left abandoned and got towed away. I think thats the best it could've happened to it.

Well, I felt sad and pissed at the same time when my favorite t-shirt was stolen. It was hanged to let it dry after washing it and then it was stolen by a low-life thief. I hate it when I misplaced my things but I hate it even more when my things are stolen. Too bad the thief was never caught and until now many things are stolen in our community.

It was my old shoes that got stolen. Those stupid thieves. Not only old shoes, they also steal new shoes too. Because of them, my family had to keep our shoes indoors. However my mother believed that stealing the old shoes is akin to taking away our bad luck. I believe LOL, but I don't know how true it is.

I experienced this twice, and with very expensive items. The first time was when I was on my way to school and I went on the train. When I got to school I decided to text my mom (I think) and I couldn't find my cellphone. I searched frantically for it, took out everything that was inside my bag. I was visibly upset, and I even caught my classmates' and teacher's attention ____

I had also experienced being stolen. I was on a friend's boarding house doing our school homework. Her roommates were there too. We were encoding our work in my friend's room and I left my bag along with the other bags of my classmates at the table outside of the room. When i came back to get my bag and as i checked on my wallet my money was missing. I really felt bad that day, why do they have to do it. I so hate thieves, they are the worst kind. I dont think they should be allowed to live when caught. We are always taught that getting things that are not ours are unacceptable. They just dont have the conscience. I wish them karma. They are happy when other people lost their belongings. How could they even be happy. There is this one time too. It was almost exam time at school, so payments should be made. I planned to pay my tuition in school after we were finished with our hospital duty. I belonged to a group, which would be my group for that whole semester. We were so busy in our hospital duty since we were assigned in the Operating room. We usually put our bags at one side. I was scrubbing/ assisting an operation, so I was really busy. I had no time to check on the money. But i trust my groupmates since I have known them quite well. When we went off duty, I went to school and im going to pay my tuition. Knowing that it was complete, I directly pay it to the cashier. Only to find out it wasn't. I was so shocked, I felt like crying. Thankfully, I made a deal with the cashier. I just hate thieves, i loathe them so much!!I just hope that this wont happen to anyone, and ill let karma do the work. Lesson learned, never trust anyone even if you think you know them well.

i think last year, when i was riding a jeepney my mini wallet was lost. i have paid for my fair using the coins inside that mini wallet. i think i put the wallet in my pocket. many student are in the jeepney and there is a guy student on my side. after few minutes after i get out of the jeepney, i realized that i've lost my wallet. i went back to the jeepney i rode but i didn't find my wallet. i put all my money there and now its all gone. i don't have remaining money at all. i text my father told him about that. he said its ok and he will just fetch me from school. i think someone have stolen my wallet i don't know who. (but i don't care). i felt a little bit sad for a while but i eventually accepted it. its just money, i can have or i can save exactly the same amount that i've lost. what is important is that nothing happened to me. i'm perfectly fine. now i don't put anything in my pocket. all things in my bag...i've learned from my experience. after a few weeks, my sister lost her 1 month - old cellphone also by riding a jeepney and the cellphone in her pocket. and now, she also put all her things in her bag... :D

Yes, three times so far. The first one was my cellphone. I was in a meeting and did not realize that I left my cellphone on the chair. When I returned five minutes later the cellphone has gone! The second one was when I made a transaction via PayPal. The seller did not send the item I have paid and he could not be contacted anymore. Luckily I made the transaction using PayPal so I could get the money back. The last one has just happened! A female friend of mine borrowed my hard drive containing movies I downloaded from the internet. When I asked her to return the hard drive she never returned it back! What I feel? Angry, disappointed, but nothing I can do...

hi there, i know what you feel, when you lost one of your very important thing. I once experienced that one. It was during my graduation, my aunt let me barrow one of her precious and priceless earing. I went to a beauty parlor for a make over and i just placed the earing on my pouch, but when i was about to wear it, it was gone. I feel my world was tearing apart because my graduation day should be with full of memories of happiness and worth keeping for, but instead i ended u crying and felt guilty because i was not careful.

I'm sorry to hear that. What a pity. In my experience, once I lost my cellphone Sony-Erison S580 near train station while I was waiting for a bus. Because of the stream of people I suddenly felt that I was touched by somebody on choth. It was too late to stop it. When I catched the guy who had touched me he already finishing the switching.I had quarrel with him. But not helpful at all. After all, I had to take the bus without my cellphone. I lost the brand new cellphone and all which was worth $300 and nearly all of contact way of my friends.
