Ever been a crime victim?

[memphis]

Unfortunately yes. Stereo stolen from my car in high school and home buglared twice in college. Nothing too scary, fortunately.

[Lunar]

Bike seat stolen 3 times.  Bike wheel 1 time.  Within two months.

[Sensei]

somebody stole my clarinet in middle school

[tik 🪀✨]

One time I got short changed at the checkout.

I've had a couple of car stereo's stolen.  Two radar detectors.  I was "mugged" in the bathroom at High School once.  Never had a bad guy in my home though.  I've had my dignity stolen once, but I gave my virginity away.  (not at the same time)

[Nym90]

Yup, I was manager at a sub shop while in college, and got robbed at gunpoint in the store.

Fairly frightening, that.

[Хahar 🤔]

Never. My life has been uneventful to date.

[Associate Justice PiT]

     Robbed at gunpoint when I was three. At least, my mother was.

[The Dowager Mod]

Yes.

[Countess Anya of the North Parish]

     Robbed at gunpoint when I was three. At least, my mother was.

You didn't tell me that.

You didn't tell me that.

     It never came up in conversation. Would you have preferred it if I did?

[exopolitician]

A couple times.

public school teachers have compelled me to stand and salute the flag during the pledge of allegiance.

what would have happened if you had refused?

[Filuwaúrdjan]

Of course

what would have happened if you had refused?

the very act of compelling me to stand is a crime.  I explained this and gave the teacher(s) a copy of the relevant SCOTUS case.

[??????????]

Yeah, a couple car radio thefts. Had a guy come to my door at about 2am during a series of forced entry assaults/rapes/robberies in my neighborhood. When I answered the door with my rifle he quickly walked away.

[CPT MikeyMike]

Yep. Last year, somebody got access to my ATM/Credit card and charged $2,000 on it. I called my bank and they asked me, after looking at the purchases; "I take it you were not in Bangkok today (where the purchases were made)." The bank then told me about gas stations where they get your ATM/Credit Card number (from a strip) and use your card.

[WalterMitty]

recently my car was  broken in to.  they stole some cds and pretty much ransacked the car. 

im almost certain i know who was responsible for this and other thefts on this street.  but i cant prove it, so im out of luck.

[AndrewTX]

I was robbed at knife point while in high school. When I refused to give them my wallet, I got stabbed in the hand right between my index finger and thumb. I started to chase the kid for bout a block after it happened till he got away. He told me if I called the cops I'd be dead. So I did the sensible thing, and called the cops. I pointed him out a line out, and did all the other fun stuff. Nothing bad has happened since, but than again.. I am kind of a big deal.

 If people want to see pictures of the scar, just let me know.

[Bacon King]

I had a CD player stolen out of my locker in 9th grade.

[J. J.]

Yes, I had a rental car stolen in SW Phila.

[DownWithTheLeft]

Somebody stole my flag off my front porch once, that's about the worst that's happened.  You know suburbs, never enough crime for some

[Hash]

Never. Apart from pencil-jacking.

[Beet]

Of course.

Everyone who has paid taxes should be answering yes... there have certainly been crimes (in the literal sense) against the Federal Treasury.
