Sorry to hear about your loss.
But I'm happy to see how bitcoin saved your day. Cards can be blocked but cash in hand can be robbed. BTC on the blockchain cannot be touched unless we are stupid. lol
He is lucky as the robbers didn't get it and had no idea what it is for but robbers are getting sophisticated these days. Remember, they can hack top exchanges and get away with millions of dollars. Now, it will be a lesson for the OP. Don't trust that robbers will not be interested with your gadgets next time. As others said, you just got lucky! But congrats for getting back on your feet owed to your crypto.
