First and foremost, glad to hear you made it through it but its time to move, time to re evaluate the actions in your life that led to this happening and time to move differently and smarter in the interim. Realistically your spot is compromised now and you would be wise to find new accommodations, clearly its no longer safe there. If you are anywhere near approaching the age of 30 it would also be wise to really evaluate the situations that led to this and if they are a viable long term means of financial stability. In the interim (because I am not ignorant to the fact that transitioning to a new way of life takes time and a financial safety net) you need to move way smarter and way safer, while I dont know the specifics of how this transpired I find it difficult to understand how they were able to take your means of protection from you? Unless they are close friends or family your guard should have never been down enough to where they got the drop on you like this. You should acquire new means of protection since yours was stolen but maybe you also need to really take an honest look at whether or not you are capable mentally and emotionally of using that protection should that unfortunate time present itself again. In terms of getting back what was taken I sincerely hope you understand that the money is spent and any attempt to retrieve it from these individuals will only lead to a confrontation that may have a tremendously undesirable result.
