I was robbed last night!

I don't know if this is in English mugging, robbery, or assault, or whatever, here it's in Spanish "asalto". But last night it happened to me.

Sorry if I am rambling, but it's still confusing, and I am feeling like gone through a washing machine.

I had to go the house on the other side of the block (I disconnected from TCS to go there) to ask something to the neighbor. Halfway around the block I felt that somebody was sneaking up behind me... before I even had time to think I felt something pointy touching my back and heard the words "No mires atrás" (Don't look behind you). And felt a hand taking my wallet from my jeans back pocket. I froze to death.

I don't know why on earth did I did this foolishness, but the next thing I did was turn back on the guy and grab the hand of the knife. I cannot recall the details, but there was a struggle where I kicked him in the stomach and the next thing I know was a big fist smack into my face and I fall to the ground. That was the end of it. The detail is that when I fell my head bumped directly into the steel bar of a traffic sign. My head still hurts.

By the time I was capable of standing up and managed to find my eyeglasses in the floor there was no trace of him and I read what said on the sign.

MUNICIPAL POLICE

HQ CCISAC IV

And an arrow pointing ahead.

Ironic... robbed a block from a police HQ.

Snuff said, I simply followed my logic of walking there with a killing headache and told them what happened. My parents picked me up there once the reports were signed. They had a face of worry when they arrived like none I've seen in my life. I doubt they are going to let me alone outside in a good while. Bummer.

I've had to call the bank to cancel my ATM.

Fortunately there was no money in the wallet... not a believer of cash.

Any vibes to spare on the headache?

I think I need to get away from this town.

Wow - that must have been really scary! You're lucky you weren't hurt worse - it especially wouldn't have been worthwhile over an ATM card which you can have blocked. Hope your headache goes away, and I wouldn't go walking around that neighborhood alone at night.

Mega vibes for the headache, VIctor! Thank God the guy didn't do worse!

Jcat, my neighborhood is considered a "safe" neighborhood by the police... although they would need to say a lot more to convince me of going out again alone at 10 PM.

It was later when the feeling started to sink in of the risk I truly went through... I guess trying to resist an armed robbery is the kind of thing that you just shouldn't be doing.

I've been with an ice bag and double my dose of Tylenol. I shall confess I've got a big bump in the head. At least I am no longer feeling like a Migraine.

Wow! Hope you are going to be all right! I think I'd be so scared I'd become something of a hermit after all that.

wow, I'm glad you're not serverly injured. That creep is still out to hurt someone else

Oh my! Sorry to hear about that - what an unpleasant experience!

You get lots of rest now Victor - you've been through a lot both physically as well as emotionally (even if you don't feel the full impact just yet - it could take a while for it all to sink in).

{{{Victor}}}

I am so sorry to hear that Victor! It sounds like you are on the mend and did everything right. The others are right....it will take awhile to sink in what happened. Hope you get better soon and I hope they catch the creep that did that to you! (((sending healing vibes)))

I guess I really went through a lot there... Thanks. I am somewhat confused at why did I not use my cell phone, but I guess it was the right thing anyway to have gone to the police station.

I have spent the whole day whithout doing much, just watching tv, listen to the radio and the computer. Vicky came here after school and the first thing she asked was say with a grin "You spend 24 hours without me nearby and get into trouble" She's got a sense of humor.

I don't know if he's gonna be caught or not. They asked for a description of him, which was mostly of clothing he had and some basic features of his face as it was dark. But I would sure love to pass him through the stone.

The wallet is more likely to be found, but ain't worrying too much about that. They also asked me for a small list of what's inside the wallet in case they find it. The only things of any real value was the ATM and the SS card, but I mentioned everything I could remember.

One question: How do I get a new Social Security card when it's been stolen? I am at a loss there.

Thanks for all those vibes and support, I knew you folks would understand.

OMG Victor , how scary . You are lucky nothing worse happend to you . I sure hope you get to feel better soon .
I have a son and he will be 16 soon . I would have freak out if that would happen to him . But then , he is only allowed (sp) to stay out till 8:00 pm .
One time he also sneak out with a neighbour boy , same age , to a gas station together to buy something . Well , the police stop them LOL . The cue I believe is 10:30 pm under the age . So his luck was that his dad is a cop and so let them both slide No need to say that the next day my husband found out . Oh boy

I'm so sorry that happened to you, but relieved that you weren't hurt worse. That's really scary! I hope they catch the guy. I'm sure you (or at least your parents) will sleep better knowing he's behind bars.

As for SS cards, here in the states you can go to one of the offices and get a new one. My husband lost his and had to do this.

Whoa! How scary!!
Take care of yourself & hope you're headache is better!
(((((((((((((((((((HUGS)))))))))))))))))))

oh my im so sry that is terrible thank god your alive you are brave for kicking him im soooo sry about you headache i hope it feels better take care of you self be safe

I'm so sorry about what happened! I'm glad that they didn't try to do anything worse though, and you are very brave to try to defend yourself.
I really hope that the police finds the guy and he gets punished for what he did, which is very bad. I'm sure you and your family will feel better if he's not out there too.

Feel better soon!
Sending lots of safe and healing vibes.

Wow I'm sorry you went through this. How scarey. For a new SS card you have to go to the Social Security office. A SS card is unfortunately not something you can get by mail or internet. You have to show two forms of ID when you go. It helps to protect your identity.

I'm glad that you are fine now... hope the headache and the bump clears up soon...

Sounds like fun
hope you feel better soon man,

Later,
Brandon

Victor that's very scary. I'm very sorry to hear that. I hope you're feeling better soon buddy. lots of ((hugs))

Victor i hope you feel better soon. Theres some horrible people in this world. Instead of working to pay for things they have to take it from others

Sending you a hugg and a headbutt from Rosie(on the opposite side of your bump!)
