If you have, it sucks, doesn't it...?

Did you ever get the item back, have to get it replaced, or maybe it was one of those things that was irreplaceable and you just had to live with the fact that it was gone for good?

For me, I've never been mugged in my life (thank God...), but I've had stuff swiped from me when I wasn't around. Most memorable one I can think of right now would be this collection of gold-plated collector's coins that was given to me from my grandma. She brought it to me while I was at work, and I placed it in my purse thinking it would be safe. After my shift is over, I discover that the coins had been stolen, but nothing else of mine was taken. However, other people noticed that they had valuables swiped from them too, and from then on, if you brought your purse inside, you had to keep it in the manager's office.

Most recently, my mom's bike got stolen. She's not particularly upset that it's gone, but it does bother her that someone would just walk up to the property and take off with her bike. I don't blame her. It's kind of a scary thought that someone would just do something like that. What if they were casing the house for a way to get in?
