Money: Today, I felt a tug on my backpack and found my wallet missing....

Today, I felt a tug on my backpack and found my wallet missing. A nice stranger pointed to a guy running down the stairs and said "There goes the guy who took your wallet!" I ran to catch the supposed offender. The 'nice' stranger was the actual offender distracting me as he got away. FML

Today, while being robbed, a man heroically chased down the robber and got my purse back. He then looked at the distance between us, turned the other way and ran off with it. FML

Today, on the way home, a guy yelled "Hey, YOU!" from behind me, so I walked faster. He ran up to me, shouting, "I said stop, asshole!" I almost pissed myself in fear, thinking I was being mugged. Turns out I'd left my wallet at the grocery store, and he was just trying to return it. FML

Today, I was walking down the street, when a little old lady bumped into me and fell over. I helped her up and she thanked me for being "such a nice young man". It was only an hour later as I was in line at the store that I realized she'd pickpocketed my wallet. FML

Today, I saw a cute guy on the bus. I smiled at him and he smiled back. After a couple of stops, he got off the bus. He bumped into me, turned around, apologized, and winked. I stood there feeling good about myself. Then I realized he stole my wallet. FML

Today, while I was walking home from work, it started to rain. Clutching my bag in one hand, I started to run so I wouldn't get too wet. I saw a man running towards me and all of a sudden he tackled me to the ground. He thought I had stolen someone's handbag. FML

Today, I had gone to the store and bought a new wallet. 5 minutes later a security guard asks for my receipt. Turns out I had dropped my receipt. Some guy had picked it up and pretended I had stole his wallet. The guard confiscated my wallet because the guy had "his" receipt to prove it. FML

Today, a stranger asked to borrow my phone since his had died. As he was using it, he kept walking away and I had to chase him because he was walking too far. He turned around, yelled, "Stop following me, asshole!" and punched me, knocking me out cold. When I came to, I realized the fucker stole my phone. FML

Look on the bright side. You now know what he looks like and can give a description to the campus police. Chances are he's a student there.

19: there are these people called pickpockets. They can brush right by you and take something of yours without you even feeling anything

Who the **** keeps their wallet in plain sight and sticking out of a backpack? That's just asking for someone to steal it.. And isn't that whole "he went that-a-way!" trick common in old Bugs Bunny cartoons?

Haha someone obviously didn't watch enough Cartoon Network as a child. Proof that Loony Tunes incorporates life skills!

Word for word what I was going to say. I didn't know anyone actually kept anything important and theft-worthy anywhere but mashed against their person, and in such a way that it would be painfully obvious if someone tried to remove it.

Well...the other way could be true too. Today, I felt a tug on my backpack and found my wallet missing. A nice stranger pointed to a guy running down the stairs and said "There goes the guy who took your wallet!" I didn't believe him and searched him for my wallet. He didn't have it. FML

So you were robbed on the CTA, huh? Well, YDI for riding on the CTA instead of staying home on your computer.. Actually, what the hell, YDI for living here in Chicago. Try living out by the cornfields downstate instead.

There are many, many, many idiots out there. Remember kids with their names stitched to their backpacks? Or people who hide keys in [obviously] fake rocks?
