I kinda hate Chicago right now

quidditchcapn1120 · February 2013

Stupid me, I answered my phone while on the El today and it was stolen right out of my hands. I don't really care about the phone, but I lost a bunch of photos because I hadn't done a transfer in a while. Plus the one that I am using right now just isn't the same as my old one.

I also was stupid in that my instincts kicked in and I chased after the guy. Afterwards when I thought about it, I realized it could have turned violent.

And I said the word "fvcker" in front of a bunch of kids on the train. I was pretty embarrassed about that too.

That really stinks...and I totally would have said many F bombs if that had happened to me!

Oh man seriously?? That sucks!! I'm sorry.

lorirachel · February 2013

ugh that is my biggest fear. sucks that we can't even answer the phone without being worried in a big city. I'm sorry

bumpuser1282882 · February 2013

Wow, that really sucks! I can't imagine that happening here.

That totally sucks but I am glad you are okay.

We are having major issue at the station near me where commuters are being mugged.

Wow! That sounds horrible, glad you are OK. I actually just got off the phone with my mom who was telling me about this supposedly new thing called "apple picking". I guess theifs are taking people's iPhones while they are using them so that they aren't locked. Scary world.

Wooo gurlchild it is NOT worth chasing after someone. Remember the eldery woman that was murdered over her cell phone? Let that shiit go! I am glad you are ok!

Yeah I know. It was instinct, I didn't even think about it. I'm so angry about the whole thing!

Noooo not the iPhone 5! I'm getting one in a couple weeks and that's definitely a fear. That definitely stinks and my instincts would have kicked in too and I would have just seen red. It just makes me sad and angry that stuff like that happens. My old ipod touch was stolen by a customer when my back was turned back when I was working in the hotel gift shop. I wanted to hurt that guy.

Sorry that happened to you

That totally sucks - I had my purse pick pocketed/stolen, so I know how you feel. It's the worst feeling being a victim of theft - so violating. But I like to think karma kicks in in these situations!

That sucks, I am sorry you had to experience that! Makes me kind of glad I use a Windows phone... no one wants that POS.

This kinda makes me want to avoid being downtown.

herecomesthesun · February 2013

Ug. That totally sucks. I'm sorry that happened to you.

Enchanted616 · February 2013

So annoying! Glad you are okay.

I gotta say though that thefts don't just occur downtown. The eventual death of a lady who fell down the stairs after an escaping thief pushed passed her occurred at the Fullerton Brown line. I looked that up to be sure and that happened almost two years ago. So sad!

To the OP- Sorry you lost your photos! I love this city but sometimes the crime really gets me down.
