Over the past few days, we've brought you stories of your neighbors being scammed and stolen from.

One resident recently recognized he was likely the intended victim of a scam and called police after he was offered $3.5 million and a Chrysler and a cab arrived at his house to bring him to collect his winnings. And this weekend, police responded to multiple reports of thefts from lockers and a vehicle at a Bedford Street athletic club.

So, with that in mind, we want to know Have you or someone you know ever been the victim of a scam or theft? If so, what did you learn from the experience? If not, how do you protect yourself against scams and potential theft?
