Guys, I think I've had the worst week of my life. Been robbed at knifepoint, hit with a baseball bat, been slapped around, detained for about an hour so that half the gang (2 of the four) could go to the ATM and draw a few thousand of my money with my pin number that I was forced to give up. Also stole my cellphone. To make a long story short, I eventually got out of the situation without losing my life. Happened on Wednesday morning. Could hardly sleep Wednesday night and last night. Police are investigating. Thats' all, just thought I would let off some steam........

Re: I've had a horrible week
I have been mugged myself but not at knifepoint and was many years ago in a city called aberdeen which is in scotland..Luckily i only had £20 in my account as i was observed over my shoulder to get pin number.

Re: I've had a horrible week
@amethyst This is really an awful report! I am very glad to read that you are here now and able to share the experience with us first and foremost.
The money stolen is rotten enough and that violation will take time to come to terms with, but I am very impressed how you kept your cool under fire and had your wits about you to get out alive and in one piece.
We'll celebrate your victory and not dwell on the loss. Karma is a tough tough mistress and balance , like water, will find it's own level.
Hang in there and anytime you need to let off some pressure there is plenty of space here to write down your thoughts.

Re: I've had a horrible week
@amethyst Hope you get better, that was terrible, here in Portugal things like that are very rare. Many Brazilians come here to get away from scenes like that. Hope that the bank with the police report can activate card insurance and give back your money and karma will prevail those thugs won't have a long live.
All the way from Portugal

Re: I've had a horrible week
Sad events. I'm compassion for you.
Where did this happen? The Hillbrow area of Johannesburg immediately comes to mind. Or in the countryside?
