I have on two occassions within the last 10 years been the victim of crimes where I was stripped of some or all of my clothes.
Is this sort of crime more common than people believe or am I just very unlucky? Has anyone else had the same experience?
BTW I'm not interested in sexual crimes so there are no questions about rape.
