I hate the city.

My ****ing backpack got jacked today. I don't keep any electronics or my wallet in my backpack, but my books, homework, school supplies, and gym stuff? All gone. Kiss my grades, and about $80 for the lost books goodbye.

I wish I still lived in Montana. A lot less **** goes on there. And who the hell steals a kid's backpack while he's getting some New York Mints at Walmart?

I'm so pissed right now, it's not even funny.

Did you leave your bag unattended?

It is unfortunate that happens, but there are petty and/or desperate people in the city.

It was sitting in the back seat of my dad's car.

The idiot took my bag, but not the GPS sitting right on the front windshield.

 

[¯\_S.(ツ).L.I.D._/¯]

Probably hoping you had some dope or something in there.

 

[Underload]

You're probably right about that.

Protip: Take your backpack into Wal-Mart.
But only $80 for missing text books?

 

[Underload]

That's probably an understatement. I don't know the actual price.

 

[Man of Popsicle]

Yeah most textbooks are at least $50, Science books are generally over $100

 

[L__]

If you go to a high school...I'd guess $80 per textbook :\

Aren't you that dude that kept dying when you played OoT? xD

Sorry to hear about that...Try covering your stuff up w/ a pillow next time. I do it when I don't feel like playin' my Psp in the store. My dad's truck got stolen this one time...Seriously though, if you're an honest student, your teachers should give you time to make up work.

I have legit johns for that failure. I'll do that game again eventually to show how much better I am with an actual TV screen to watch and no input lag.

But anyway, the things in there were a few homework assignments, a French textbook, history textbook, plus like three different workbooks from various classes.

I'm really glad I don't keep my iPod, phone, or wallet in my backpack..

Hmph, welcome to the city, Underload- a dangerous world where the only occupations are wheeling, dealing, and stealing. u___u

 

[Insetick]

Didn't you lock the door?

Even then, cities are dangerous places. Don't leave anything unattended that you aren't prepared to lose. It sucks that you lost so much stuff, but I'm sure your teachers will sympathize if you explain your situation.

If I go to a city-college next year, I'm buying a taser...

 

[Man of Popsicle]

A taser would be a really cumbersome thing to carry around.

 

[Reaver197]

The city is not so unsafe as to warrant everyone carrying a taser, but be prepared for anything that could be perceived to be (or contain) something of value to be at risk for being stolen.

 

[Insetick]

I was kidding about the taser, although I would probably carry a can of Axe deodorant if I had to venture into a bad neighborhood alone. Tasers are way too dangerous.

From my experience, I think the best advice for being in a city is to always be with a friend and to carry as little as possible on yourself.

you got your **** jacked. Happens all the time. A police officer got shot 100 yards from my house on halloween. I still love the city unconditionally. Also you guys are acting like the city is really dangerous. You don't need a buddy or axe. You just need some balls lol.
and to not take out electronics in sketchy neighborhoods

There are Walmarts in your city? Crazzyyyy.
