After being a victim of card fraud whereby someone spent £350 of my money in Hong Kong, it made me think about theft in more depth.
Firstly, apart with being rather annoyed, the thing that effected me most about it was the fact that my privacy had been invaded. Someone had gotten all my details illegally and behaved in a malicious, dishonest way, commiting a serious crime. The person stealing this money knew it would directly harm others, and yet they still did it; in that respect, the person is worse than the crime they committed.

I strongly agree with the point you are making here, when it comes to serious crime like the one you've experienced, you are right in saying it does take a particular type of person to commit such a milicious act. I failed to mention this type of theft in my blog, but the act of stealing from others, I.e. muggings, credit fraud and theft of identity are among some of the worst kinds of theft as, as you mentioned it involves personal attacks on individuals. The experience you have shared has brought to light how easy it is to be subjected to such attacks!!
