It doesn't quite seem fair...
- My wallet was stolen today, June 20. I usually don't have cash, but since I bought my bike with cash yesterday, I had $50. Even though I canceled my credit cards about an hour later, they had already managed to charge $180 in Metro cards.
- My bike was stolen from our company Christmas party in Kunming in December 2008.
- My wallet was stolen while getting on the bus in Kunming twice, once when I was leaving to go on a day trip, and thus had more cash than usual. Once I paid about ~$8US in ransom to get the wallet back. Since it had my credit card and such, it was worth it. Thieves on the bus in Kunming also tried to take my iPod at least 3 times, but I thwarted them each time. I'm proud of my iPod protection skills!
- My phone was stolen while at lunch in Kunming. It was the cheapest phone available, and more than a year old, so I don't really understand that one.
- My car was broken into twice near Wisconsin Ave in DC within a few weeks. They took my CD player/radio and all the CDs I have ever owned (hundreds), and the second time they took the iPod speakers I had been using so I could listen to music in the car. I wasn't dumb enough to leave my iPod in the car.
- My hotel room was broken into while I was sleeping in it in Nanning, China in August 2002. They took passports, plane tickets, camera, cash, etc. on the day before we were supposed to leave the country. Thankfully they dumped the passports, credit cards, and plane tickets outside of our window.
All that to say that it just doesn't quite seem fair. Steal something from someone else next time, please!!!
