Robbed and Losing My Digital Life
Today I got robbed, and it was intense. They stole my good phone, which had a 1 TB card full of photos — essentially my memories. On top of that, the phone contained my digital wallet, so losing it is a serious problem. I’m extremely pissed about it.
During the struggle on the stairs, I managed to twist the first attacker’s hand — the one holding the weapon — and for a moment I had control.
Then, suddenly, the second guy attacked me with a knife. I had to let go of the first one to defend myself, and in the scuffle, I threw the second attacker down the stairs. He hit his head badly, and for a moment, I thought he might be dead or seriously injured.
In that same moment, the first guy — the one who had my phone — escaped. I chased him, but he got away.
When I returned to the stairs to check on the second attacker and possibly get information about my phone, he was gone too. I still can’t explain how he managed to get away after hitting his head like that.
The worst part: losing my new phone with the 1 TB card, all my photos, and the digital wallet stored on it.
It wasy Motorola Edge 60 😢😭
