Hello Stackers.👋

To be honest, I didn't know where to put this post, I even thought it would be absurd, but once my mind calmed down I was able to find a way and writing helped me relax my mind. This is a cry of relief simply to express my frustration and anger, since when I realized that the pickpocket had taken my phone from my jacket pocket. Just like in a movie, the fucking train doors have closed in my face and it started, the next few seconds which seemed like minutes in my head, I check my pockets to recognize and certify that instinct did not fail me, and They had just taken my phone out of my pocket.

As soon as I arrived at the next station I complained to the authorities, and their reaction was like aah Ok I don't care, keep walking then, overwhelmed by anger, I even went hunting for two hours around the stations to see if I saw the thief or anyone else. to put justice in my hands, but fortunately nothing happened. I say fortunately because despite being aggrieved by the robbery, I could not prove it other than with my word, and if I severely attacked another, even if he was a thief, if he did not have my phone specifically, that would result in a police sanction or something. similar. Damn society where we live. Total madness

Now I am making this publication to vent my anger and mainly to present my case and invite all the people who use the different trains in the main cities of the world to be more attentive and take precautions. In my case I live in the Third World (Lima-Gris) but I have seen some videos on YT of people who expose these thieves very bravely in videos, and they are in cities like Barcelona, ​​Madrid, Paris, Milan, NY, Berlin, among others. other large cities in Europe or other places such as Asia or the US.

How to detect them is extremely difficult, before you saw a thief and usually he had very specific aspects, but these people are not like that, they are boys, girls, gentlemen, ladies with super ordinary aspects, of whom you will never raise suspicion. Unless you see or feel something, and many times, like in my case, when you realize it it is already too late.

Recommendations... Use zippered pockets in pants or jackets if the pocket is external, use jackets with internal or hidden pockets, or carry your wallets or phone, tablet inside your backpack in internal pockets (if you use a backpack). And of course avoid crowds, also understanding that there are times when they are unavoidable.

Finally I would like to add a NOTE: From this fact, I have come to the conclusion to seriously consider that I need to learn to use and obtain options for non-lethal weapons for personal defense, in case of attack or robbery. (we live in the real world and we are not free to what happens again such a situation or something similar to happen) Maybe something that allows you to react and be able to neutralize or appease an aggressor or thief in question. Here the truth is that I speak from ignorance and I know nothing about it, that is why I invite you to share your vision, I would like to read your opinion or recommendations. Ideas come to mind such as an electric shock weapon, pepper spray, retractable bars that can be carried concealed, to name a few. Thanks for reading, I appreciate your time. 👍⚡ Stay in the Pagüer 💪😎⚡
