I got robbed in CALI.......

I got robbed here in California USA!. I don`t have to be in Colombia to get robbed.
A WORD OF CAUTION to the women that leave their purses unattended at the supermarket.
I was at a "Whole Foods" (health food store) yesterday and I payed with a key chain ATM, so I never had to go in my purse. Few hours later I noticed my money bag was missing, I looked everywhere, bur never found it. I had 3 credit cards, 2 ATMs, other charge cards, and my DL and other, and about $120.00 cash.
I thought maybe I left it at the store. I called this morning and they said it was there. I got it back but the money was gone!.
I don`t know when it happened? I keep an eye on my purse all the time.
The clerk said " it was found in between the pineapples"!?

So crime happens every where!

Were the pineapples okay?

Lisa Zee says on Dec 15, 2007, 17:05:

I am sure they were fine, but I was not. I was about to call and cancel all my credit cards, you know what a pain that is.

nueva york bombero says on Dec 15, 2007, 17:09:

I'm sorry to say, I know it sucks, but I'm glad it asn't another story about Cali, Co!
I'll be there soon and would love positive stories!!
I'm real surprised they didn't take your cards!
How's the weather there? What part?

Lisa Zee says on Dec 15, 2007, 17:15:

I am close to Los Angeles. By the beach it was beautiful today, about 65 and sunny.
Cali is very nice and hot. Many beautiful ladies and a place to have fun. You will like it very much.

That's what I'm hearing! It will give Medellin a run for its money?

Lisa Zee says on Dec 15, 2007, 17:24:

I like Medellin better is not as hot as Cali, I don`t like it too hot or too cold, tonight will be here mid 40s burrrrrr. but we don`t have snow, thank God!.

Lisa wouldn't be caught, dead or alive, in Cali ;)

I wouldn't leave my purse unattended, even in a church, these days, in cali, in california, La.... no where. Remember that old show: Who do You Trust? NO ONE! no where.

Thanks Lisa Zee for that reminder. I'm usually pretty good about always carrying my purse while grocery shopping, but sometimes I get lazy. Glad they only got your cash and left your credit cards alone!

Monpirri says on Dec 18, 2007, 13:27:

Houstongal, how nice to see you again. Did Che Lucas took good care of you?
Did you have a great time?

Yup, everyone's been taking good care of me here. Pod is the perfect host of his hotel. MT is the perfect gentleman that he always is. Gringoloid has been keeping us in stitches....when he's awake.

I am having a great time Monpirri...thanks for asking! One more day left. I think Pod, MT and I are going to go eat some meat tonight! :-)

dwmte7 says on Dec 19, 2007, 15:17:

lisa....wtf? what are you doin in cali? i thought you had a better grip on life. when you could have been in llano grande?

i was takin a bus from gualanday to the finca about 5 or 6 miles down towards toblaso, got off at my stop and left my bag of groceries, carton of smokes and bottle of rum on the bus.

believe this. the next a.m., after kissing good bye to my stuff the night before, when i got to the bakery in gualanday, the manageress asked me if i left my bag on the bus last night. and lo and behold. all intact, including my smokes and ron...believe it. thanks colombia; screw you, cali.

I remember that story dwmte7. Pretty cool. It is refreshing when you chance upon honorable people, no matter where in this world you are.

christobeldawg says on Dec 19, 2007, 20:19:

I think most Colombians are honorable people.

admittedly, arriving can feel great too

dwmte7 says on Dec 20, 2007, 05:11:

christo...amen. some really decent folks there, once you get outta the cities, which cities seem to have the same effects on people, their morals, etc, the world over. out in the country folks seem to have a good center of gravity about living, caring, trust. that's been my experience. not only in colombia, but in some of the wretched places my work took me to.

there's something i've noted in my travels. for the rich, they never have enough. for the poor, especially in colombia, nothing is often more than enough. at least that's how they conduct themselves. VIVA COLOMBIA

I am sorry you dear people, I thought this post was deleted!!!!. Just now after my trip to Florida I am starting to post.
dwmte7, sorry if i miss lead you, it was here in Cali..... California. if I go to Colombia believe me I would be in Llano grande for sure. Yes this people by rionegro are good honest people.

I was trying to make a point with this post, that there is crime all over this world, no just in Colombia.
Thanks for the kind words (: LISA
