Had my money (around ₹700) stolen by a classmate when I was in high school. 700 might not seem like much to some people, but for a high school student, it was a pretty big deal. The authorities looked up the CCTV footage and caught the kid. I got my money back. It was all done in secrecy so it doesn't ruin the reputation of the school. But that experience definitely made me more cautious.
My mom too had her iPhone stolen on a train station around 5 months ago when she was travelling. I remember I even made a post about it so to remind others to be aware and prepared.
