Thanks for all the support and comments guys, I will get to them eventually and then hopefully back to upvoting as usual etc, just thing's are a little hectic right now while I try to get everything organised in hope to visit my father this coming Monday.

If you haven't read my previous post I talked about a mugging which happened to me recently as I got invited to a friends house for a get together with some others who are also friends of mine.

I finished work and made my way towards her house, I was unsure of where her house was situated being the first time visiting.

To get there I passed a library which faces a busy main street the rest of the building turns into another road which is towards my friends house.
Down this road there was a group of 5 young girls all under 20 and 2 guys but just a couple of feet away were two other guys in hoodies who didn't seem to be part of the group.

Anyway so I passed the two guys and turned into my friends road, I suddenly felt like I was being followed by them, one of the guys when into another road.

But the bigger guy quickly ran up close beside me and started asking me a few questions, confused but not distracted I continued to walk, refusing to answer anymore questions I kept going, but by this point I knew what was coming...

He lastly asked for money, I said no, he suddenly stood in-front of me and wouldn't let me continue walking.
He told me I had to give him money now or he and he's pal would make a bloody mess out of me....

Another guy quickly appeared behind me as if from almost thin air.

I was trapped between these two with not a soul in sight for help.

It was a residential area, full of houses yet nobody was about doing their usual business.

I felt like I had no other option but to comply as they could of been carrying knifes, apparently over %70 of muggers here have knifes...
I started to think even if I give them my wallet they might still stab me, I hoped they were smart enough to not kill anybody.

I started to take out my wallet the bigger guy quickly snatched it off me, he grabbed all the money, coins and took my bank card also.

He seemed very pleased with having found my bank card in particular, he acted like it was some big extra bonus or something that he didn't expect, he smirked rubbed it like if to see it was it actually real..? and then said it was very nice..?

I guess the guy had never seen plastic before with he's name on it? How very odd.

I wont deny that right at that moment I really had to contain myself on not attacking him, even biting my own tongue, but there was two of them and I learnt from previous experience's that it's probably not a very good idea to fight a 2 v 1.

He wished me a pleasant evening.... and ran off with he's pal.

I was not attacked or insured...well not this time, but admit I was a little lost and in shock as I had not been to that area before, and so not knowing where my friend's house was I just wanted out of there before anymore muggers appear.

This was not the first time I have been robbed, last time was much worse, two guys tried to steal my phone I refused and we all got into a fight, with the odds against me they beat me up enough to which I was taken to hospital.

I have been mostly fuming about my bank card being stolen this is particularly bad timing to have it stolen as I'am about to go visit my father for a yearly visit.

I don't see him much due to working and the money needed to visit and I need my bank card to pay for my travel fee's.

My worries were the thieves managed to get out enough money to the point I wouldn't be able to afford the travel costs to visit my father.

I talked to my bank over the phone and from what I could understand they didn't get anything.

I have been awaiting in hope for my new card to arrive before Monday, yesterday I had no luck, if I don't get this sorted soon I don't know if I will be able to go see my father this year which will be very upsetting for us both as we only get to see each other once a year now.

But today I'am happy to report that my new bank card arrived this morning.
I was just finishing breakfast when I received the card and first thing I wanted to do was to check and see if the thieves did get away with any money.

I logged into my banking only to find that unfortunately they still managed to place two orders totalling up to around $100, it's not too terribly much I guess I expected worse, but still I was fuming they got away with it and wanted my money back.

So I contacted my bank again and after answering many many question the lady on the phone said that the money would be returned to me but only temporarily until I sign some disclaimer forms.

But there was a problem... the forms had to be signed within a sort period of time.
And basically by the time the forms would arrive and had to be back by... I would still be visiting my father.

The lady suggested I go into the bank and ask for these forms, unfortunately I had work soon.
So she suggested I go tomorrow to get the forms, I thanked her for her help and said bye.

Once I put the phone down, I thought you know what.. screw work! If I get in late that unbearable boss of mine will just have to deal with it.

Deal With It giphy.gif

I got the documents I needed together and rushed to the bank, the lady there was really nice in dealing with the problem, think I was lucky as the other woman was being more difficult with her customers.

I must mention I found it ironic that the guy who was behind me in queue was also in to deal with he's stolen card problem, it just proves how much this happens.

Anyway I got my forms which have to be dealt with later as I had to rush into work.

Since getting robbed and this happening a few times I have had many people ask me how does someone cope with any emotional trauma, the regrets, the lack of sleep or what can be done against such things?
And so I might write a little mini series of various expects in-case it might help anybody out there.

Also post's might be a little on and off for the next few weeks while I firstly try to find a way to visit my father but this should be fine now that I have a card and the temporarily funds from what was stolen from me, also if I do make the visit to see my dad I might not always get the time or internet needed to be able to get on Steemit everyday.
But I will keep you guys updated.
