So you're driving scooters (not even one scooter... 3 of them!) around in, let me guess, a poor neighborhood where the average household can barely afford food on their welfare and food stamps, while you manage to have scooters and 5 (let me guess, >= $400 per unit) bikes?! Your friend had a high-end MacBook, other computer(s), and expensive phone(s) - all while their neighbors can't afford a 13 inch CRT television? Again, I don't mean to make excuses for the criminals. But when you live in a neighborhood whereby you clearly have access to more money and possessions than your neighbors, those neighbors will take advantage. Never live "beyond your means" in daily life compared to your rent. That is my experience. If you cheap out on rent, while using your disposable income to buy fancy things, your neighbors will make a victim out of you. If you can afford a $3,000 MacBook, you have no business paying < $1,000/month rent. Oh sure, you have the right to do so, and you should be legally protected against such attacks. But that's not how the reality of the world works. Medium (or nearly medium) income households who show off they are living above the wealth of their neighbors, will never live harmoniously among the poor who can't afford the same level of comfort. Fact of life. If you are going to live in a poor neighborhood, you had better act poor. The moment you step out of your cheap-ass apartment wearing a suit and carrying a laptop, jumping onto a scooter or $50k car instead of a < $100 bike or < $500 used car, you've instantly made yourself an easy target.
