I was walking home from the streetcar, after work, on Wed. night, when 2 guys with knives jumped me.


They took my purse, and worse took my jewellery. I say worse because I lost a diamond ring I had inherited from my mother that had been in her family for several generations.

The police were really helpful and I gave them a photograph of the ring, which they said they'd circulate to pawn shops in case the thieves tried to sell it.

I'm pretty shaken up, but fortunately all my friends have been really supportive.
