Robbed today in Envigado

Sorry for your loss and best of luck getting your stuff back.

You can try checking Locanto or Mercado Libre.  They're classified sites like Craigslist.

Also, I think 'robbed' is the wrong word: "Robbery is the crime of taking or attempting to take anything of value by force, threat of force or by putting the victim in fear."

Thanks Louis - that's useful.  I'll check both those sites.

And yes, sorry, didn't mean to give the wrong impression.  I thought robbery was all types of thievery, but apparently not. 

Although I have to say, having been robbed at knifepoint in Nicaragua, I think this is actually worse.  At least I could look the thief in the eye, and I knew with 100% certainty what had happened to my stuff.  The not-knowing is what gets me.

Sorry to read about your loss, Benjamin.

Let's maintain perspective on your latest point.

Facing a robber with a knife out .. is potentially much more dangerous than non-violent theft.

The reasons:  in the latter scenario, your backpack, clothes and Kindle can be replaced .. and there is no bodily threat to the victim.

The law makes a distinction between robbery and other forms of theft and burglary.  In jurisdictions where this distinction applies to punishment for perpetrators, robbery is a felony, the other forms merely misdemeanors.  (Per Wikipedia, under "Robbery.")
