Mary and Tom left their hotel the first evening of their vacation in Rome to go out to supper. A guy approached Tom from behind as they waited on the sidewalk for the light to change so they could cross the street. Tom’s arms were restrained to his sides by the man, who also wrapped an arm over Mary’s neck. Despite Tom’s efforts to free himself, a young woman hurried up and quickly stole Mary’s purse and Tom’s wallet from his hand. Tom tried to catch up with the a duo as they fled, but they vanished through a little side street. Tom and Mary were unharmed, but Mary was afraid; her heart began to race, she felt frail and trembling and she began to cry. Tom had lost all colour, his face was not completely white. They returned along the same route to their hotel, constantly scanning their surroundings as they went. Back in the hotel lobby, they found Mary still trembling. When Tom and Mary explained what had occurred to the receptionist, he was appalled and offered them drinks before calling the police. While they waited for the cops, Mary began to tremble and feel queasy. When the police showed up, they brought Mary and Tom to the police station in the heart of Rome to submit a report. As they made their way hack to their hotel, the unsteadiness began to subside and instead, everyone began to feel irritated that they had been singled out for attack. Tom was unable to think or s or speak much. Tom relaxed once they were back in their room and fell asleep on the bed. However, Mary was unable to sleep and spent most of the night awake, replaying the events in her head. Even though Mary and Tom were unharmed physically, they were both having a significant emotional response to the stressful scenario.
