Three years ago I was in my shop with my husband. We were just closing when a man appeared, he told us that he wanted to buy a bulletin board and we showed him more than 5. After that, he told us that the money was in his car so he left the store and promised to come back. Some minutes later, we realized that the cell phone of my husband had disapeared :(

one day ,a long time ago, when I was going to my work....
I got out off the Metro at Polanco station and took a taxi because  I was late to my work.
And I didn't see the taxi number code, I just got on it, and said to the driver ,go ahead on the avenue...
Then the  taxi driver stopped and someone else got in to the taxi with an arm and took my cel phone, wallet, erings and all money that he found in my purse, I was really scared about the thinking that he and the taxist were in arranged and both of them could take me out of the city, at last, he said" quikly I get out of the car and don't see back of you""
I just got out of the car in a street I didn't know and heard the car going on...Ijust told my God thanks, thanks...

Five years ago, when I was travelling in a public transportation "Combi" in Tepalcapa toward bank zone at a stop a young men with cap and backpack got on. When suddenly the men go out a gun and he said me "give me your phone and your wallet". I quickly and without I gave my things. I was very scared and in shock because I was traveling alone, I was the only person in the combi. I didn`t know what to do in that moment after the men got out. I started to cry for the impotence and the bad moment.

Once I was thinking go to  the cinema but I needed to take my cloth to the laundry so I decided to do both. I went to the moll San Miguel because in that place there were this kind of services. Obiously  my car was left in the parking. When I was in the cinema ran the notification message in my phone, someone had  broken the window´s car and he had taken  my bag. I had commited a big mistake, I left my bag under the couch. The thief  saw and took it while I was in the cinema. I inmediatly called my husband and he arrived soon  to help me while  I asked to a police helped me fortunately the thief was arrested.
When I was watching the movie the thief robbed my bag.
My husband was driving when I called to him.
The thief was buying in the mall when the police atrapped to him.
Definitely the crime is a big problem in my city.
Insecurity is a big problem when you see the autorithies are in collusion with crime.

I was walking along a street when a burglar came out around the corner.  He pointed at me with a gun.  I was so scared.  He grabbed the mobile.  Then, I started to shout.  Neighborgs came out to see what was happening.  The burglar ran away. A neighbor took the plate number,  but the taxi was stolen too. As Simon did, I was so scared after that.  That I couldn’t go out for a while.  I was expecting someone attacked me again.

Ten years ago I was on Revolution Avenue It was 8:00 oclock at night. In that moment my phone rang while I was waiting the public transportation. Suddenly, someone of nowhere pulled my purse from my back, and took it. I was so scared, because I realiced that I didnt have enough money to take the bus and returned to my home.

Some years ago, while I was taking an English course, my house was burglared. I was having my classes when I suddenly received a phone call in order to put me up to the situation. I asked for permission for leaving the class and while I was traveling to my neighborhood my husband was driving to the crime scene.
That is why I consider crime is a a big problem nowadays.

Once ago while I was looking around downtown, a mugger took my bag. I was so impressed so I didn't do anything, I have just bought that bag so it was empty. When the mugger noticed that, I was making fun of him because when I bought the bag I was eating some snacks, so I put my trash in.

I was sitting in "La Alameda" with my boyfriend waiting for the movie to start, when a guy approached us and said we had to give him some money. My boyfriend gave him 50 pesos but the guy wasn´t leaving and he said he didn´t want to take out the gun, so I got really scared. My bf gave him 100 more but the mugger saw he had more money hidden in a cigarrette case so he asked for more. Finally my bf gave him 300 pesos and the guy left buy I was really scared. It happened like 12 years ago.

Long time ago, when I was coming home from University, two armed robbers got into the bus, suddenly they stood up and robbed to almost all of the passengers, they took jewelry, money, and purses. I was so scared since I was behind the driver and one of them was pointing him with his gun. I got more scared when a young girl was pulling her purse back to one of the robbers, I think she wasn't afraid at all.
I was so scared but fortunately they didn't take anything from me.
