So, my bag was nicked.

My bag was stolen in Hong Kong the other night. I lost my camera, my 80gb i-pod and my sunglasses. About £1000 worth of stuff. I'm pretty gutted.

Anyone else ever had something stolen?

Edit: Oh, and my 'Into the wild' t-shirt was in the bag aswell.

    Luckily my passport was in the passport office at the time.

    Makes you wonder who would nick someone's bag. Especially when they can see it's a foreigner. You can really fuck someone's life up. It's one thing to steal from a shop, but to nick someone's bag is fucking low.

    It was really my own fault. I decided to get a few hours sleep in a park to save some money on hotels. I found a place that seemed to be pretty safe. I didn't think anyone would pass through at 3 in the morning. Then I woke up at about 7am to discover my bag gone.

    I really wish I'd woken up when the cunt was taking it. I'd have fucked him up.

    my friend got a bag nicked in front of him in malawi ... we chased this kid down for about 10 mins - then he ran into a cornfield ... what started as 2 of us chasing him turned into like 15 people as everyone saw what was going on ... we got his bag back minus a small first aid kit which i guess the kid that was a wallet ... camera with all his film and passport were in that bag ...

    if i nap on a train or bus - i always hook the bag through my arms ...

    That sucks :( I'm sorry that happened. Someone stole my purse a few years ago...we found it a couple hours later in a trash can in the same area - the only thing they took was my makeup?!?!?! :confused: My money, ID and credit cards were all there. I like good makeup...but come on :p It seemed a little gross to me
    There's a light when my baby's in my arms :)

    I should have hooked my arm through it. I definitely let my guard down.

    Wow, that does blow.....Although when I first saw the title of this post I thought you were a guy and knicked your "bag"...possibly shaving it? I don't know. I just started laughing.

    Sorry to hear that Byrnzie, people are fuckers sometimes.

    My parents have a well-secured shed at the bottom of their garden where my dad keeps two very unnecessary, yet very nice go-karts. A couple of months ago, two travellers (there were some in our area at the time) managed to get through the padlock in the middle of the night and drive our go karts away from our house without anyone waking up and catching them.

    It's pretty bad but I can't help laughing at the image of gypsies riding go karts out of our garden at night. :o

    yeah ... it's impossible to always be on guard ... i got my camera stolen (also in africa) but like after 3 plus months of not doing this and doing that ... at some point you have to just take your chances .. .

    sorry about your stuff- it sucks when that shit happens.

    my stuff was stolen once and i felt terrible for a little while. eventually you get over it and realize things could be a lot worse. that was my experience anyway.

    A buddy of mine came out of his apartment a couple months ago to find someone routing around the inside of his truck. He was leaning over the driver's side (still standing, just leaning in) grabbing at something...
    He didn't hear my friend come up. My buddy is like "Hey man, what's going on?" Scares the shit out of the guy. He turns to run, hits the door, falls to the ground and then proceeded to get his ass beat to a bloody pulp.
    Cops and the ambulance come. They find out this guy had broken into a few other cars in the area the night before...as he still had all of the stolen stuff in his car.
    People got their stuff back (minus a broken window here and there), the guy got his face pounded in, and he went to jail. Karma is a bitch! :D

    Oh that's not cool Byrnzie, I'm sorry
    I was mugged in broad daylight going into a subway station in the Village in Manhattan.
    I had just bought a cd and they got that and about $20, but also my house keys and id were in there. I didn't even have a dollar to get home :(

    It is the worst feeling!

    I had 2 bikes stolen from my old apartment complex. each were double locked.

    I've heard that guam is called "the island of thieves." apparently, thievery is like ingrained in the culture.

    Ah, speaking of gypsies again....I shall preserve a stony and acid silence!

    Saw a pissed-up city boy asleep on a nearly-full tube train not all that long ago, some scrotey, cretinous looking fella appeared before him and began fingered at his pockets casually before departing at his stop. He didn't look as if he could punch his way out of a paper bag, nonethrless not a soul(including myself) sought to apprehend him.

    Nope.

    Edit: I can only console myself with the knowledge that I now have an excuse to go and buy a better camera. I'm thinking of a cannon rebel or something. I had a fuji finepix s600 before. Can anyone recommend a good one?
