Got robbed in DT TTC subway stn

[ZoomZoom2006]

huh...got hit but kept my stuffs..my glasses broken
I wrote down time&location but is that useful?
I think they problly have a camera somewhere...

I asked a laywer tonit and she suggested to call TTC but she's not also sure about remedy. Do you guys realli know how to deal with those kinda crimes? Did TTC ever give remedy to ppl who got punched/robbed in their subway/bus?


and Downtown is also not safe anymore...the whole Toronto is now not safe...damnit

Wow, good thing you're ok. You should have called the Popo first thing, then call TTC. What station was this at?

[Aero]

[cwb27]

[ZoomZoom2006]

just wanna know whether TTC can deal with this thing

[ZoomZoom2006]

BTW....it's INSIDE the train...wth...if that happened on the street, it should be normal...now...it's everywhere..

[Grassgreen]

Move to Saskatchewan

[cwb27]

huh..have an exam in 36 hrs..police should be realli slow..

Are ya kiddin me??!

You had a crime committed against you! What do you expect the TTC to do? Refund you your fare??

I can almost 100% say that they will TELL you to file a police report.

I don't mean to be a prick here, but your thought process is out to lunch...

[b166er1337]

instead calling the cops, you are here posting on RFD asking people's advices?

so what if you have an exam in 36 hours, it's not like you have an exam in 3 hours.

[firetrainer]

Describe the situation. What time was it? Were you alone? How many guys tried to mug you? How were you able to keep your stuff?

=.=b I had no such kinda experience and that's what a laywer suggested so I just wanna see whether she's right cuz that sounds a bit wierd to go to TTC but defintelt they are liable.

[HBP]

Liable for what? Not having an armed police officer on every section of every train? Believe it or not... you have to call the cops!

11:19 (cuz they asked for time, problly they have known i carried my itouch )

Don't let a lawyer fill your head with false hopes, not they I have anything against lawyers, but it is their job to do so.

I'm not going to lie, I am a little shocked that you'd sooner contact a lawyer about getting compensation from the TTC then you would to contact the police who notify the TTC Security/Special Constables which will therefore increase the chances the person(s) who did this to you will be caught before they attempt to rob someone else.

If none of your property was taken you were at the very minimum assaulted which is a crime, which REQUIRES you to file a police report.

[Kinki]

TTC is not gonna compensate anything.

[cwb27]

TTC is not gonna compensate anything.

The lawyer filled his head with false hopes...

[firetrainer]

Did you fight them off? Was that how you were able to keep your belongings?

[sammy]

were you hurt? were you punched in the head - was that how your glasses were broken? you may want to see your doctor to get checked out, ie, any concussion if you were knocked on the head or face.

here is TO police non-emergency # 416-808-2222.
http://www.torontopolice.on.ca/contact.php

you can call them now and briefly explain what happened and make arrangements to meet with them to file a police report after your exam is over - i assume you go down there but i'm not sure.

[weedb0y]

lawyers are legal salesmen. Their job is to sell to you their services. If you think about it, everything in this damn system is sales. So, you have to be logical, file a report and hope that it atleast saves someone else from this same very incident.

[navyseals]

Just call the police and tell the TTC. That's all you can do and hope they tighten security on the systems. N to anyone else, don't let those a*** push you around.

[matdwyer]

Now I know this is completely false, (I'M MAKING THIS UP), but wouldn't it be crazy if the TTC union was some how behind these recent robberies/crime in order to get more money/bargaining power in their negotiations? One hell of a conspiracy, but I could see it! :?:

On the topic, you should have pressed the emergency bar... and started screaming... create attention, thats the last thing they want, and the bar will alert ttc employees/special constables?

[confused]

gotta get it out of the way: are you of Asian descent and the suspects of African descent?

[ZoomZoom2006]

FINALLY back to normal...I was just too scared and I'm calling the police now. :( now, everywhere in Toronto has been reported crimes...

[wasserkool]

Why are you even getting a lawyer in this situation? Are you going to sue the TTC that they failed to protect you? Or are you going to sue those bums who robbed you? Because once and IF they are caught, the police will file charges.

It seems you have too much money to burn anyways on lawyers.

[confused]

gotta get it out of the way: are you of Asian descent and the suspects of African descent?

dying to know

I'd agree with you on that one. Just that basic concept; its happening everywhere!

Note to self: When mugged, call lawyer... not police.

It sounds like he's looking more for a "remedy" then filing a police report. It sucks what happened to you OP but you sound like one of those "accident prone" Americans.

[theurbancanadian]

Where you expecting any better from a few RFDers :confused:

[sucka]

sorry dude but you sorely lack street smarts ..... firstly, your itouch shouldn't even be in plain sight of 2 young kids (i assume) on a dt subway close to midnight no less. Second of all, why would you call a lawyer of all people (who sounds like a she got her licence from a crackerjack box btw). Third, why would you even contemplate that the TTC would give you 'remedy'?. Fourth, this is what the police is for. Why did you not call them?.

[Bazooka Joe]

Sorry this had to happen to you OP. If something like this ever happens again, here's what you do.

1. Call police. When something illegal happens in Canada, you're supposed to call the police and tell them about it. If you can, try and remember as many details about the people who did bad things ("criminals"). Height, weight, hair colour, clothing, age, tattoos, facial hair, piercings - anything.

2. Call the owner of the property you're on. TTC has a right to know that something illegal is happening on their property. This way they can go to their tapes and get as much information as possible to pass on to the police to catch the criminals. Many private companies have private security forces that although they might not be able to catch them they do know the proper proceedures to help the police as much as possible.

3. If you believe you're hurt, see a medical professional. It's free in this country and you're already paying for it in taxes so feel free to use it.

4. Talk to your family about it since you might need some help getting over it.


-----------------------

That's it. No where on the list does "call a lawyer" or "sue the ttc" or "post on RFD" exist. When you catch the criminals (which you likely won't since you've done nothing to help the police), that's who you can sue. Stop being a greedy bas*ard and do wrong to those who did you wrong (instead of the TTC who can't make anything better because they don't even know anything bad has happened).

[blue mountain raider]

where there anyone around you when the mugger attacked you?

did u fight back?

where the muggers black?

how old did they look?

[Sohjonn]

describe the muggers

if i were mugged on the TTC, I would alert the RFD community by giving a description of the event [where, when, how , what happened] and WHO to look out for.

then i would ask: what should i do?

Sorry OP, your first post was very vague and a lot of respondents had to probe for answers.

Funny that you would have the exact time you were mugged, but not know where it happened but referred to it only as the "station before st. andrew."

You didn't want to report it to the TTC or the police, b/c you had an exam in 36 hours, but you were able to consult a lawyer?

huh...

Wouldn't make one iota of a difference when the majority of the thugs out there are dressed the same and all look the same. If it were someone that dressed and behave like Zanta, I would agree but otherwise this is pretty useless and pointless.

From ttc.ca site.


Passenger Assistance Alarms (PAAs)

Passenger Assistance Alarms (PAAs) are the black and yellow strips located above the windows and at the ends of subway/RT cars. Press the alarm strip immediately if you see or experience an incident that should be reported or stopped.
They should be used to report:

* Fire
* Harassment
* Illness
* Accidents
* Vandalism
* Threats to Customer Security

Here is what happens when the PAA strip is pressed:

* An alarm goes off in your car and also in the driver's and guard's cabs.
* A light on the outside of your car turns on so that it is easy for emergency personnel to see where the problem is.
* The driver calls for emergency assistance.
* The train stops at the next station and the doors open. The subway guard or the RT driver will check the situation and take appropriate action.

write down a detailed description of every single thing you remember.
Then give it to the police (non-emergency) line

[Nav]

I love it.

You get robbed, so the first thing that goes through your mind is, let me speak to a lawyer. Then, you say, let me post this on RFD.

Nowhere in your thought process did you think to call the cops after you were, cough *robbed* cough.

What the f**k is wrong with people?

Let me guess, you got the lawyer on speed dial, don't you? (And, I am almost 100% certain you don't have the Police non-emergency # in your phone, AT ALL!. 911)

write down a detailed description of every single thing you remember.
Then give it to the lawyer

This is probably what the OP will do.

[chickenbones]

LOL u deserved it for calling a lawyer afterwards but not the COPs.

[edgedamage]

You got burned for doing what I call "IPOD fashion statement". When my company moved downtown I noticed something weird. Almost everyone holds their Ipods in their hands in front of their body, like look everyone I have one too! Muggers are like shoppers give them something nice to look at, and they go for it. I call BS on your story. You would have done one of two things before blogging here.
#1 Informed a TTC employee.
#2 Called police.

[goJays]

why get a lawyer? do u think ttc will compensate u for such a tiny incident? lol

furthermore, after 4 pages, u have not released any information. how did it happen? what did they take? what did the perpetrator look like? what did u do while this was occuring? i pass by that station everyday.. i would like to know. btw, how small are u? how old are u? what decent are u (maybe trend)?

[nahim.a.a]

I think the poster is an illegal immigrant that's why he/she does not wish to talk to the police.

Exactly, it's just a status symbol, they also insist on the pearly white headphones.

[DaVibe]

For reference sake, even if you were on TTC property and caught on video camera, nothing is recorded unless you're standing around the money. That means, the collector/operator booth or the turnstyles ... otherwise, they have cameras but it's not taped.
I had a run in at the TTC a while back and was shocked when I was told this when I assumed the criminals could be caught on tape.

That was not the case.

Edit: I also don't see where a lawyer is going to help you out. You don't know who robbed you, nor does it sound like you're going to find them soon. The only thing you can really do is give the description to the police ... you can ask to see criminals they have on file (pictures) but other than that, a lawyer can't help you because you're not suing anyone.

Edit2: No, the TTC does not care. Go ahead and write them a letter about how you don't feel safe in the TTC, but really, they don't care. It happens every week on the TTC, if not more.

Uh, no. Regina and Saskatoon are the most dangerous cities in Canada. Toronto is way back in 26th place.

OP, be more damn careful next time. The iPod impresses no one but is a magnet for thieves.

[errorinexcellence]

you must be really shocked and cant type out the incident or your terrible at faking a story..

you have little to no details about anything, your sentences are all messed up and can barely understand what happened.

all I got was, you were in a train, there was 2 guys and they asked for a time.

So your telling me, in that train there were ONLY 3 of you guys there? And how do you manage not to get robbed then, did you hold up a fight aganist 2 people until the doors opened and you ran for your life or did you beat them both silly on the floor and waited for the next stop?


so you call a lawyer that costs money per the hour to speak to just to try to get compensation

[AirBosh]

Sorry to hear that.

Since it's March Break I reduce my use of the Ipod from my commute to work from Scarborough to DT and back. Lessen the chance of getting mugged.

[lil_c09]

use ipod touch and google maps and setup a perimetre around where you got robbed! then you and your lawyer friend can canvas the area lookin for bad guys!

[wasserkool]

Doesn't the TTC only keep recording tapes for 24 hours? I guess u ran out of time. So how much did the lawyer charge for consultation?

[wasserkool]

huh..have an exam in 36 hrs..police should be realli slow..
just wanna know whether TTC can deal with this thing

Police are not slow in toronto, they will most likely come within 10 mins. When my gf's car was hit by a drunk truck driver in a wal-mart parking lot and fleed, the police showed up in less than 10 min. I gave the officer the licence plate, the officer pulled up his info and was caught and procecuted within 2 weeks.

[najibs]

sounds a bit wierd to go to TTC but defintelt they are liable.

Gee, in that case you might as well sue the City of Toronto, the provincial and federal government since it happened in Canada :lol:

[v_tofu]

wow. just wow.

I'm not even sure why you contacted a lawyer and not the cops. Unless you're an american of course.

mugged downtown on the subway at 11:19, and there were no other passengers in the car?!
You said you wrote down the time and location of the incident but what about a description of the suspect(s)?

Step 1- Report the incident immediately to the TTC Special Constable Service
If unable to contact them:

Step 2- Report the incident to the local PD that is in charge of the area you were using the TTC, if you were DT, TPS(Toronto Police Service). They may refer you back to TTC S/Cst's.

Either way, this is a clear example of a time you should have sought out law enforcement help.. and for some reason didn't.

More to the story maybe?

how ironic...

[laptop-tech]

Call TTC and tell them you want 2 million dollars to settle. They will offer 1 million, then you say YES and ask them to drop off in cash, inside a garbage bag, near the newstand on Yonge Station at 12:00 monday. Go to the bank deposit the million dollars cash and never ever work in your life again.

[Azxster]

I am shocked by the lack of common sense.

Do you not pay attention to your surroundings? The yellow strip CLEARLY indicates it is used for harassment and other emergencies

[Aznkid2000]

and didn't op say that he was jumped on the platform not inside the train?

I just quickly browse through it didn't read much sry if he said was in train

[Azxster]

REGARDLESS of where he is on TTC premise, TTC has NUMEROUS ways to contact an emergency worker. The two most common are the yellow strips and the intercom at the DWA.

I was going to ask if this is still in operation on the subway.

As soon as you see these people approaching you and the train is empty and they have enough room to be elsewhere beside coming right up to you be alert.

If they talk threateningly ie to rob you then start making a scene and tell them to F off.

I always tell strangers I don't know the time although I have a watch which they can't see under my sleeves off course but all it takes is a second for them to punch you as you take your eyes off of them.

If you are sitting, aim for the crotch region when punching and kicking.

If you can stand on the seat aim kicks or swing knapsack at face and head while you press the yellow strip.

Always stay close to the red button on the wall in the designated areas of stations when waiting late at night.

It always pisses me off to see women especially waiting far away from these or going far down the other end by of the station platform away from the crowds or where the designated waiting area is situated.

Sorry about what happened.

I honestly do not understand why you would not call the police immediately after this happened ? They must have some kind of Help phone on the platform or even on the train ? They do in the lower mainland here.

You pick it up, get immediately connected to the transit security. This way they can figure out where you're at and may have been able to track the bad guy getting on or off your train via the description you give.

Sorry to hear this happened to you but I would be on the phone to the police or Transit security immediately after this happened.

I had a guy try to take my briefcase off of me at Yonge St. station some time ago. I was lucky in the sense that I just grabbed him, slammed him as hard as I can into the concrete pillars and that took the wind out of him. There were 2 TTC constables who saw what happened, so I picked the guy up and tossed him to the constables. They subdued the guy and took him away.

I didn't lose anything (just missed my train) but I don't encourage anyone to do what I did. The mofo could have had a knife.

My friend also had similar experience at Yonge St. station too. This guy picked on my friend (Asian guy 5 feet tall). What the crook didn't realize was that my friend was a 3rd degree black belt in Tae Kwan Do, and he flattened the guy pretty quickly. I told him he should have picked his wallet instead :D

I can't wait for the day that someone is getting their house robbed, and we see a post titled

EMERGENCY, NEED ANSWER QUICK, TWO ROBBERS IN MY HOUSE WHAT TO DO?

Haha

Call lawyer - wtf ... ok so they rob you on the subway car and you sit there and wait for them to get off ... go watch the Brave One Trailer ... teach you some thing.

Note to self: When mugged, call lawyer... not police.

You got it wrong. First the lawyer, then post on RFD, and THEN the police...

In defense of what may seem like nonsensical behaviour: sometimes when you are just minding your own business and doing your daily routine, and then something unexpected and terrible happens to you, you are just shocked that it happened to you. It happens so quickly, and it's over. Calling the police when your phone is off is a hassle. You're on hold, the cops come and spend a long time fussing over you, your day has been ruined, etc. There's no prospect in catching these guys because they are probably generic looking males wearing "baggy jeans, sneakers, hoodies". So, the next thing you think about is where it happened, which was on transit. I have personally been assaulted while walking on the street, and I did not call the cops. It's also somewhat embarrassing, because you feel like such a victim, who was targeted because I was weak or something.

The mayor and the police did not want them here. However, they were going to stay anyways but they ran into financial problems. They asked for public donations but didn't get anything so they left.

The suspects were arrested and charged, but were released from custody on conditions by the courts.

Another plus for our justice system
