Terrible thing to endure for anyone.
Police have a bad job, but one will walk away from this thinking that the cops attitude is no one got seriously hurt, just cash, report it, but unless these idiots repeat, they will drop it.
You on the other hand, emotionally stressed, cut on back, out the money, just violated. You are consoled, It could have been worse.

BS. I believe that this will repeat be a more common occurance. Economy is not picking up any time soon, and more job terminations, will cultivate more crime.

As good people, we are trusting soles, HOWEVER, this unfortunate crime emphasises the need for personal vigilance. As stated previously, If something does not look right, it probably is not.

I have apoligized more than once for jumping to the ugly side of a situation, thinking the other person was up to no good.
