LESSON 8
rob – steal (also: nick, mug, thief, theft, robber, robbery, burglar, burglary, mugger, mugging, pickpocket)

Hugh: My house was nearly robbed last night. I say ‘nearly’, because… Anyway, listen to this. I went out for a couple of hours with my mates for a little game of ‘cops and robbers’, you know. Came back about 11. And what do you think I saw? – my ground floor window was broken. That’s how the burglars broke in – through that window.

They stole some cash, not much, a fake credit card and my favourite teddy. They robbed me of my favourite possession! On top of it – they nicked ten bottles of Żubrówka from the fridge, cheeky thieves! Hmm… Somehow, I don’t think they were professional burglars…

Anyway…their car had broken down, apparently, and they had to walk home with all the spoils. And you know what – they were mugged!! …Yesss!

By whom? Hmm…, well, by a gang of muggers, yes. You see, my mates were still playing that game – you know, cops and robbers… Hmm… and …. well… Anyway, I got my teddy back!
