    Hmmm, you may be on to something. A black eye or something may be embarrassing to him, but maybe the bruise on his sack will be worse for his pride. He doesn't deserve a pair anyway.

    Never been robbed. It's a fear. I try to be aware of my surroundings when entering shady areas and just be proactive. Maybe a bit too jumpy but hey, rather safe then sorry.

      Yeah, I live right on the edge of Pitt's campus and never walk back to my apartment from campus after dark (always take the shuttle). In my 3 1/2 years living here, I've heard plenty of reports of students walking alone on or near campus at 10 PM, 12 AM and getting robbed. If you have to be out and about after dark in an a questionable area you should always stick to main roads where it is well lit and there is plenty of pedestrian traffic and, of course, remain aware of your surroundings.

        I would think the police would return them, but not sure.

        Good call on checking Bookmans, and I bet they take the information of the people selling them stuff (like Gamestop does)...She's caught red handed.

          If you can prove that the property is yours through serial #'s the police can seize the property. Now it might go into evidence and then it will be released to you. Or the police can release it to you.

          No serial #'s = no property

              A lot of receipts have serial numbers on them now for electronics.

              So make sure you all save your receipts.

              Also, registering products that have serial numbers to you, and even taking pictures of said product's serial number when you purchase it, etc.

                  Re: Have you ever been robbed?

                  My dad's truck was stolen right out of our driveway about 5 years ago though, and when I was like 10 someone broke into my moms car and stole the stereo system. My mom never got her stereo back, but my dad did get his truck back. Fortunately the thing was out of gas, the police found it a few miles from our house on the side of the road.

                  Me personally, though, no. HOWEVER, I have been scammed. About 3-4 years ago I was at Best Buy and as I got out of the car a white van pulls up and asks if I want to purchase a new $2500 home theater surround sound system for cheap. I don't remember what his excuse was or why he wanted to sell it to me so cheap, but the dude was good at convincing. He asked for $800 and I talked him down to 250 since that was all I had. He took it, I was pumped and ran home.... only to google the system and see scam, scam, scam, scam all over every link I read. The stereo actually did work, and it came with everything it advertised, but it was a piece of crap. Probably not even worth $100.

                  You live and learn. I was one hell of a gullible teenager back then. I look back and laugh at myself.. who in their right mind would sell a brand new $2500 product for $250?

                        I had my car broken into and the only thing they stole was a swiss army knife. The funny thing is I took my gps in the house that night so I could update it or else that would have also been stolen.

                            Got robbed of my Northface Jacket by 3 young dudes walking home from a friend of mine's house in DC in the Winter of 05, back when they were all the rage here.

                            Ran up on me saying "That's a nice jacket right there, homie" and once I seen his other 2 boys come out of nowhere, I didn't hesistate one second taking that jacket off. Needless to say that was the last time I would wear a Northface Jacket for a while before I eventually bought another one 2 years ago and luckily I still have that, fortunately.

                              What a differnce 20 years makes PPM. In 85 or hell even 95, those same boys probably would've put the tools on you and had you flinched it would've been over. Lost a distant cousin that way in 89 in DC.

                                My experience differs a little. I wasn't robbed of personal belongings, but...

                                Back in college, I worked at a bank as a teller. We were a small bank (only 4 to 5 employees on duty at a given moment) and a guy came in and robbed me at gunpoint. One of the scariest moments of my life. It wasn't like I could do anything because I was behind the counter. Just felt helpless. That happened to be my last day working at a bank.
