What an unwanted experience I had early this morning!  

That is horrible! I am so sorry.

Hi, williamjisir. I am very sorry about your bad experience. I have never been robbed before. But, I have had my clothes, and my family clothes taken away from us all. It was not a very great feeling. I lost just about all of my things. It is something how this woman stole your money out your back pocket. From now on you may have to put your wallet in your front wallet. I know that most men keep their wallets in their back pocket. And that is okay. But, it makes it a free target for a thief. You may have to put it in your front pocket from now on. I don't know why we have so may thieves in this world. They should go out and find a way to make some money instead of taking yours. How did you know that it was a lady that stole your money? Did you see any familiar faces? Or anyone that you may have recognized? I hope that you get this straightened out. Hopefully, you can make a report to the police. Maybe this bus station had cameras around where they could catch a glimpse of the thief. I am very sorry that this happened to you. It is not a nice situation to go through. I hope that you will never have to experience this again.

I am soo soo very sorry to hear you had this bad thing happen to you my dear friend William, such a nice gentleman and does not deserve this.
I truly hope it was not a huge amount that the thief stole, as money is so hard to come by.
Oh yes, one must be vigilant to avoid these things in life. There are others, as you know, who do this for a living and are planning and looking for opportunity every second.
Awareness is key and must be worked on.
I suggest now to you my friend that before you leave the house, be like the soldier, and check all before you go, like a military operation..survival is key and you will beat these do no gooders.
This did not happen to me ever, but it did happen to my sister, as she was foolish to leave her bag down in the bus station and turn away for a moment.

I am very sorry for the pick pocket williamjisir, this should not have happened to you. You are such a helping hand and good person by heart. Anyway I am happy your journey went on uninterrupted. I faced this situation once long ago. I went to a departmental store. My son was small and I was holding his hand and selecting things. Suddenly he asked me to carry him and started crying. He was afraid of the crowd. When I was concentrating on him, somebody opened my bag and took money from it. Fortunately in a hurry, they could lay their hands on a part of the money only. I learnt a lessen from that incident and now I keep my money in the inside zip of the handbag.

i havent experience that kind of thing..but loosing money on the bus makes you embarras..i think the pickpocketers is very professional.. hope you will be careful next time.

Hi William, it's sad to hear you are in this deep trouble, early in the morning. Well, my parents always advice me not to put my purse or even my cell phone at the back pocket of my pants or trousers. It's not a save area, since we are hard to turn around to our back and see what's happening. My uncle ever got pickpocket twice, when he was standing in the bus. There are full of passengers, so it's hard to know which passenger had pickpocket and stolen his wallet and cell phone. It's more save to put your wallet in the front pocket of your trousers. Happy Lantern Festival....

Hey williamjisir! OMG! That is so terrible! But, you said that
this was the third time this has happened to you! Didn't you
learn from the first two times to keep your money close to you
and not in your back pocket! Obviously, wherever you live this
is an occurence that is common! I live in the USA, in NY and
we know that there are many pick pockets and know to take the
proper precautions as to where we keep our money and credit
cards! I try to be very careful when I have cash on me! And
my boyfriend never carries cash in his wallet ever! He puts
his cash in his sock! And I suggest for now on you do the
same! Take this as a safety tip! Put your cash into your sock
and your money will be safe from now on! Sometimes you have
to learn the hard way!

sorry to hear of your bad experience, dear friend. My son lost his wallet for three times, now every time he leaves, I am like a broken record reminding him to put his wallet at his front pocket or put his bag in front. I also experienced losing my wallet in my bag, a middle aged woman who's sitting besides me in a jeepney keep on smiling every time, I faces her. When I got home my other things were falling already only to realized my bag was slashed and my wallet was gone. I no longer trust Passengers who smile at me whenever i'm in a bus or jeepney. We learn from our experiences though. Take care, William.

so sorry to know that u lost ur wallet to a pickpocket.. but these people are very slick, or else they would caught repeatedly and may not 'make a living'..
luckily, i have never encountered such a bad experience..
i have lost things before - purse, handphone.. but they're all due to my own carelessness..

Hello Mr. Williamjisir! It was a very bad experience. What surprises me are two things:

1. How can they steal things from our own body and not feel it.
I think this people are very lucky or talented because I would never take the risk of doing such thing, and yet, they are sucessful most of the time.

2. How come it wasn't the first time you've been stolen. Some people have never been stolen and some others have been several times.
I have a friend that moved to the town I am at because she used to lived in the biggest city of my country and had several bad experiences like the one you had today. A month ago someone broke into her house and stole a lot of valuable things. They were not home, but they manage to steal TV's, other electronics, gym machines and not even one neighbor heard anything or at least thats what they say!

Its very dissapointing that humans do this things to others, many say they have their reasons but its absolutely not the right thing to do.

Hope this is the last time this happens to you, Libna.
Happy mylotting!
