I am so sorry that happened to you, but like Sandy said.. it can happen anywhere now. There is no crime that happens in isolated areas. And I can definately relate.
I was working one night. I worked at a bar and grill and when I wasnt hosting I was the barista (cashier) and had a little counter area. Well I had been working there for the entire school year and occasionally I would take my wallet out to pay for something and leave it (not in site) but behind the spoon holder on the counter. Well, one day in May i did it. I started packing up to go home and looked for my wallet. I couldnt find it. We looked everywhere for it. It was nowhere and people said they never saw it. We came to the conclusion that it had been swiped. We had 4 doormen on and 2 host and no on noticed anything. Whoever took it made a clean getaway. It had my license, school ID, my staff card from a place I work at back home, grocery store card, SS card, debit card, $10 cash and to make matters worst, the $193 paycheck I had just gotten that day. Needless to say I was SOL. Everything was canceled and i got another paycheck. But i was hard for awhile b/c I had no ID and couldnt go out with friends. Couldnt take cash out and didnt have ANY money because they took all of it and couldnt write any checks. The sad thing is whoever took it would have had to come behind the counter to take it. And alot of people think it might have been another employee. I sympathize with you completely
