Robbed, again.

*sigh*

Merry christmas. 2012 ends with a nice rounding up of the number of times I've been robbed, to 20.

A classic technique this time and they REALLY got lucky. I was with my 4 year old and his 11 year old sister, which instantly makes me vulnerable. As always I had very little of value on me, just my cell phone which was tucked away in a zippered pocket of my shoulder bag. The very pocket which got cut open with a razor blade, probably whilst being pestered by some low-life for 'monedas' (aka the decoy). I was instantly suspicious, told him politely that I didn't have any, and pulled the 2 kids in close. Half the bag would have been sticking out behind me and they managed to pick the pocket that had the cell-phone in it. Not an expensive phone, but several dozen photos and videos of my recent trip to Colonia with my lad on it.

Cnuts.
