OK. I understand now. It's more important to avoid disparaging the reputation of the USVI than to report a theft on TTOL. it's not a surprise that STT has a very high crime rate. I want to thank the OP for his post instead of lecturing him. Aside from the origin of the word, here is a definition from Merriam-Webster.

Robbed: to remove valuables without right from a place (2): to take contents of (a receptacle)

OP: thank you for the post and I am very sorry that happened. It is helpful for most of us to learn of these events.
