I am so sorry to hear that Heatman. I can only imagine how that must have felt going through that and I am happy that you came out of it without severe injury. 

I can't say I have ever been robbed on a bus before. I remember when I was a kid and my mum and dad took me and my brothers to the beach on the train, on the way back, we got the train back and my youngest brother was in a pushchair on the train and she had her bag over the handle of the push chair. When she got home, she found that someone had managed to steal her purse.
