What would you do if you got robbed of everything?

[DelusiveNinja]

Situation:
Let's say you sleep with nothing but your underwear on and you wake up one day with nothing in your house/apartment but a pair of shorts, a car (that starts), the car keys to the car, a laptop connected to the internet via WiFi, and your wallet, containing your driver's license and ID. You are unemployed because you have just been laid off and you live alone. What do you do?

This would be way more embarrassing for females since they wouldn't have a bra or a shirt.

That seems to be the only stuff you really need. First thing, I cancel all of my stolen credit cards. I then knock on a friends door, and request some clothing. Then drive to the bank, and withdraw some savings, and buy some clothes.

I assume, if I had been out of work, then this robbery would simply be an excuse to cut expenses. No TV= no cable payment, etc. I have my computer, and an internet source, so I would use that to look for a job. Nothing beyond the ordinary really.

In the end, this robber wasn't really good at what he did, he missed the good stuff. Though, he was kind of a dick. More than an inconvenience, the act seems more of an insult.

You wouldn't call the police to try and get your stuff back?

I would say: " wow! thanks for the free car whoever you are."

 

[GodOfOrder]

Ahh, sorry I assumed as much, just forgot to say it. Even if I did call them however, there is a low statistical chance that I would ever see my stuff again. Insurance is also probably going to do very little.

Sell the car and smoke drugs for a few months then hang myself. With a deathnote blaming the robbers with my address added to it in order to make sure that they know I died because of them.

Depends on how much $ I had to begin with.

But yes, my plan follows CC's. I would sell everything, buy drugs and hookers -> suicide hoping to make them feel guilty.

rofl...this is exactly what I was thinking

You know, a minimalistic home is so much easier to clean than bulky stuff.


I would report it, then go to a church/state/whatever charity or a family resource center for clothes so that I don't walk around braless and naked. Then clean the house, get some food. The car is important to get a job, so I'd be stoked they didn't steal it.


Talking about stealing, someone stole my jogging stroller recently. That's so random, I keep asking myself why...

I'd go shopping.

I just had a wallet go missing at a bachelor party last weekend with 300$ in it does that count?

 

[Cavallier]

My apartment requires that I pay for renter's insurance meaning I get an automatic $300,000 in the event of my apartment burning down. So, that car? It has got gasoline in it right?

My mother and father in law live about 25 minutes away. I'd get some clothes from them.

Wow this would actually bump my personal net worth up since most of my stuff is uber cheap due to deflation anyways. The police, family, friends etc. can be contacted through the internet so I can have help and recover sooner or later.

Come on, free car, free laptop, and free internet access and best of all no pants! BEST. DAY. EVER.

I'd start checking for tigers in the bathroom, because this sounds like a Hangover plot. I bet there'd be some juicy fingerprints on that new car though.

 

[Ex-User (5841)]

So... I wake up with nothing but everything I need?

Honestly, if they got it out of my house without waking me up, then hell, I deserved it. I'd probably file a police report and start living within my remaining means.

I'd assumed I had no insurance (much like I assumed I wouldn't need to report credit cards stolen because I don't have any).

*shrug*

When they told me I HAVE to take out $300,000 in renter's insurance I asked the lady what the hell she thought I might be storing in my apartment. At this point I could replace all my shit and then retire to Jamaica with the money I had left over. Turns out its only $15 a month for that much insurance.

... <---That's a Jamaican elephant. Or so I'm told.

And you haven't the place hasn't burned to the ground yet? Sounds tempting, mon, very tempting...
