This evening, while I went for a run around the local reservoir, some thieves smashed my car window, stole my wallet and phone, and proceeded to go on a wild spending-spree at the local mall. For some reason they didn't steal my beloved 1984 Fender Precision bass in the backseat. Thankfully, I was able to cancel the cards, clean up the broken glass, and move on. And really, I've got it pretty good, so I shouldn't complain: this was one of the more direct experiences I've had with someone wrecking my stuff, and if all they got was a wallet and an iPhone, I think I made out pretty well. I did get mugged when I was twelve, but being that I was twelve they only managed to get about a dollar in change, and I figure that doesn't really count. And really, it's not like someone has ever tried to murder me to death, so I should be grateful. But this got me thinking- what was the worst crime you've experienced? Identity theft? Assault? Shooting? I'm sorry for the low quality to this post- it's not exactly newsworthy material; but in a community as large as this one, I figure there must be some pretty incredible stories out there.

My dog ate my cheeseburger one time when I left it on the table. He just poked his head up and pulled it under the table. Sometimes in my dreams I can still hear the lettuce cracking.

A hit and run by a semi and nearly getting arrested for being the victim. I have no loving idea how.

Attempted armed robbery...and then I got my concealed carry. Tried to rob me in downtown Chattanooga and the guy got nothing because a cop nearby tried pulling someone over and he panicked and ran.

I was held up at knife point on the bus when I was in high school and had my wallet and CD player taken. My parents and me went to the police but they found out that there was no surveillance camera outfitted on the bus that I was on.

I was walking home one night years ago when a group of three well dressed men stopped and asked me directions to the nearest subway station. They were in their thirties, and the guy who talking had an English accent, I didn't get any bad vibes or feel suspicious about them at all. This town gets a lot of tourism and I get asked for directions all the time, especially in the summer time. I obliged them and gave verbal directions and while doing so I turned my head slightly to point in the general direction of the station. One of them sucker punched me in the side of the head and they all collapsed on me. I didn't have a chance at all, I was on the ground like that. They beat me for a little while and took my wallet from my pocket. It only had about sixty bucks in it or some poo poo. It cost me more money to replace all of my ID, nevermind the huge pain in the rear end that was. It hurt to eat for about a month. What a bunch of loving assholes.

surprise sex as well. But I am more bugged that the police never believed my story and the guy ended up doing it to others before finally being caught. Raped when I was twelve, finally put my case to rest when I was twenty seven. I have this guilt over not stopping the guy before he could hurt someone else.

My mom abandoned me when I was two at the beach. Luckily my father's first wife happened to bump into me a few hours later. I was wondering the streets aimlessly trying to find my way home, which was of course in a whole other timezone. Silly me.

surprise sex is pretty much the worst crime you personally can be the victim of. I would rather have the poo poo beaten out of me ten times than raped once.

I've never had anything really bad happen to me. I feel really lucky. My stereo got stolen out of my car once when I was in high school and they took my binder full of lovely burned CDs. My car has been "broken into" (I don't lock my doors because I don't have anything in there that costs more than a window) twice in the last six months. The first time they stole a pair of shoes, spilled a box of powder laundry detergent that was in the back seat and broke the interior light. The second time they rifled through my glovebox but came away with nothing. What a waste of their time.

Identity Theft - and it's one of the worst things that could happen to you. It happened while I was passing through a major city in the south. I didn't realize it had happened until I received a taunting text message: "Interesting. You have much untapped credit." I immediately contacted my bank and learned that my credit card number was being used with reckless abandon. The authorities got involved and quickly found the guilty man. Too good to be true? Oh yes. My step-sister had been using the card as well (with my permission) and was also arrested on a technicality. The local police department did nothing to help me and I eventually had to go directly to county jail to get her free. The same day, my identity thief is released on bail and decides to go underground. Normally that wouldn't be a problem, but my bank isn't changing my card numbers because as they understand, he's still in jail! (This was the old days.) So I have to personally track this guy down and I find out he's using my card to siphon funds out of ITF (a charity) via a Ponzi scheme. When I finally meet him, all I said was: "Give me my identity back". And...eventually...he did. It was a hell of a fight, but in the end I got him. Still, Identity theft is a real loving pain in the rear end. Rot in hell, Jon Irenicus.

Sexual assault. I really don't want to elaborate on it, but it's really hosed me up in the head. Random things remind me of when it happened and make it hard to focus or sleep at night. Sometimes I'll just be sitting around playing a video game or whatever and I'll remember it, and I just lose all interest in whatever it was I was doing and just sort of mope around the apartment.

While I lived in Savannah, Georgia, I was crossing Forsyth Park at about 7 PM and a black man on a bicycle (I only make this distinction because it's part of the story) rode up alongside me and asked if I was a SCAD student. I was a former SCAD student, working at Barnes and Noble at the time, so I was about to say so, when another guy on a bicycle rode up and punched me in the side of the head. I was more shocked than hurt, but I basically crumpled up like a piece of paper and fell to the ground. They both grabbed me and rooted through my pockets. I had just replaced my ID a week earlier, so in a moment of desperation (basically thinking - dammit, I don't want to have to replace this ID again) I asked them to please leave my wallet. They mumbled at me and took off, not leaving the wallet. I jumped up and ran back to the edge of the park where I'd passed a Police van on the way in. I waved and waved at the van, and started shouting, "Hey, hey, just got mugged!" and the Policeman, who was also a black man of about 40, got out and said "oh poo poo!" and ran into the field, looking around with his flashlight. He eventually realized what he was doing was pointless, and walked back to me. He pulled out his radio and said "who mugged you?" I said, "Two guys on bikes!" and he immediately said into his radio "Yeah, two black guys." I was a little bit taken aback, as I hadn't said anything about them being black, but I guess looking at my very pale, practically luminescent skin, he just knew. I got questioned a bunch by a couple of female detectives who showed up on the scene, and then was sent on my way, minus the 18 dollars that had been in my wallet and my roommate's Discman that I'd been borrowing. Anyway, I temporarily thought I'd been turned racist and was "scared of black people" as a result of this mugging, until I realized one day that I was only scared of those two specific black people. It was nice to come to that realization and move on from the event with a positive attitude. Oh yeah and surprise sex trumps everything, by far. I've been in situations where I thought I was going to be raped (due to irrational fears from drug use), but I've never actually been raped. Unless it was just such a terrible surprise sex that I permanently blocked it from my memory. I've been mistreated in hospitals, and shot up with sedatives and woken up in different rooms. I guess that's pretty bad, huh?

What about being accused of being a traitor to your country and sent to life in prison while your best friend (a conspirator to the framing) courts your fiancé and you spend your life in jail on a remote island with just a faint view of actual sunlight while trying to escape and plotting your revenge? Is that worse than surprise sex?
