Have you ever been the victim of a crime while travelling?

When I was in the Maldives I got attacked whilst walking along a lonely beach. I luckily got away from my horrid attacker and got back to my accommodation cut and bruised. All I had done was hire a bike and cycle over the bridge up a chain of islands and it happened on my way back. I haven't had any money stolen because I have been careful with it. When I was in Guatemala I hid my money in five different places. In Nairobi I only carried day to day cash around and made sure it looked like I was only carrying a transparent plastic bag.

Actually I haven,t seen things like that before ,quite luck you may say . But some of my friends did met it ,and my mama always tells me to watch out when travel.

Yea, it was scary too. I was fifteen and was groped on a subway in Mexico City for three stops before I could get out of the car. At first I thought the guys were just trying to pick my pockets, but then they got bolder. It freaked me out quite a bit, I still don't like crowded enclosed spaces and have a hard time handling it when people I don't know get in my personal space.

I honestly haven't travelled too much..But a few of my friends have been mugged or pickpocketed while studying abroad (one in France, and one in Tokyo). :/
