Who would steal money from a karma jar?

Argh!!! So...not only was my camera (that I never should have purchased because I couldn't really afford it) stolen a month ago by some "friends," but now my cute little nokia handy was stolen as well.

I was standing with a group of about five or six friends close to one of the main city centers in Istanbul. I just checked a text someone had sent and a man must have seen me put my phone back into my jacket pocket. He just came up to me, reached in my pocket, took my phone and ran. My two friends Sefer and Celal immediately went running after him. They were so close to catching him when Sefer stopped running thinking the man threw my phone back but it was just Celal's phone that must have fallen out of his pocket while they were running. Damn!

I can't really afford this and it really bums me out. Guess I should expect it as a traveler and maybe next time I will remember not to invest a lot of money in something nice since it will probably be gone after a few months anyway.
