I've just been robbed

I've just been robbed.

Some teens grabbed my bag while I was relaxing on the tram and ran out into a dark alley. I was too slow to grab them.

Nobody on the tram did anything. Nobody said anything. The tram driver DID have a wonderful opinion that I should run after those teens into the alleyway. Brilliant. Asides from that he did nothing. Kept insisting I get off his tram instead of delaying him, though. Fantastic.

Called the police. Assured me that they'd be there shortly and told me to stay at the area to report to them. I waited in the Melbourne winter practically in the middle of nowhere. If you're wondering... it's cold. Below 10 C. Waited 1/2 an hour, called back and made another request. Same assurances. Waited 1 hour. Nothing. After a while, a nice officer called. Said they were tied up someplace else. Asked if it wasn't a bother for me to magic myself to a nearby (not by MY definition) station to report it. After 1.5 hours... with no transport except trams... at approximately 10.30pm on a cold... Monday... night (and I hadn't eaten dinner, too). It wasn't going to happen.

Finally came home, tired, miserable and sick of humanity. Called the nearby police station and lodged a report. At least this officer was nice. However, there's nothing they can do for me.

Tomorrow I'm going to search the (far from home) place to see if I can find my bag containing my passports, educational certificates, study-related documents and forms and most importantly my USB containing files pertaining to my project. Alone. I've already resigned to the fact that I'm going to lose all my personal electronics.

Way to go, humanity. May you all rot in Hell. Go Fuck Yourself.

P.S. There will be no more updates until I feel better.

Oh my gosh, I am so so so so so sorry. Hv to whack up those bunch of kids. Try search the bins and everything or perhaps since they're kids they won't be civilised to throw things into bins, check the allyway. complain about the police department too. They seem to be laggy. Write to the newspapers. Those kids really need some whacking.

Yeah that sucks. It sure will be a hassle to replace all those documents. Hang in there, dude. Life is full of temporary setbacks.
