I've never used forums until now. I feel the need to vent and to get the word out about being robbed, not only of personal items but dignity as well. I'm 26 years old and I typically don't go to parties. I do social drink which consists of going to a bar or friend's house, having some drinks and enjoying good company. However, I did end up going to a NYE party because I could not afford going out. I knew a few of the people there, one of which is a best friend of mine. All of the people seemed to be decent, genuine people or so I thought. I sat my purse down for a few seconds and someone grabbed it. I had personal information in there along with credit cards and a brand new Galaxy S4. I was in complete disbelief when I realized it had gone missing. I automatically thought to myself, how can someone do something like that? And then I realized that there are some lowlife people in this world. People who are so unhappy with who they are, that they feel the need to bring others down with them. It's sad to think about but it's reality. I'm not mad that I lost a ton of stuff. I'm upset because I feel extremely violated. Whoever stole my purse now knows all of my information on my license and has access to pictures and stuff on my phone. Material items can be replaced but my dignity cannot be. I have never had to deal with anything like this before, maybe that's why I am taking it so hard. I feel down and depressed and now feel I have to second guess meeting new people. I have always had trust issues but this just puts the icing on the cake for me. I just want someone to talk to, maybe someone who has gone through the same thing or someone who has good advice on how to deal with this issue.
