I got robbed

Last Sunday, on my way to Papallacta, a town about 2 hours from Quito, I got my money, credit cards, drivers license, and most importantly my camera, taken. Jessica another friend, Joline, and I were on the bus and the guy who took our tickets also took our bags and put them above our heads where everyone else´s bags were. Mine fell down when we turned a corner about ten minutes later and I kept in the my lap the rest of the time. Papallacta was really pretty so when we got off the bus I went to get my camera from my bag and realized that all my stuff was gone except for my sweatshirt. Jessica and Joline also realized they had a bunch of their stuff taken too. Thankfully, I had ten dollars in my pocket which was the only money we had between the three of us and my phone was also in my pocket so I was able to cancel my cards. Apparently, whoever took my stuff tried to charge a car for $4,500. We got home fine and thankfully, Jesse and Nicki didn´t leave until the next day so I was able to borrow money and Jesse lent me his camera. It was a shitty feeling cause I thought I was really being careful and felt really taken advantage of. Everything worked out and at least I have a camera now which is what I was most upset about.
