@ Weelock: "Hours were missing alongside HK$80,000 (US$10,300) - taken in six separate transactions from nearby ATMs...Most targets have no memory and awake to find accounts emptied by scammers who have drugged their unwitting victims - largely by tampering with their drinks - to keep them pliable and obtain their pin numbers."
This happened to one of the 141 forum contributors in 2011. Here's the report from wander:

I recall being at Amazonia with friend Friday nite. He tells me he last saw me at 3am or so when he left.., and he said I seemed fine then. The rest of the that nite and Saturday until 7pm is GONE. I remember nothing until finding myself in a taxi but with no money, no phone (shit) but thankfully still with my wallet and credit cards. All day Saturday I was somewhere, but I have no idea where. Unconsious in a room somewhere? Fuck, I dont know!!
My SO panicked, as you can imagine. She filed a missing person's report. I had about HK$3000 in my wallet stolen, plus my phone. From 3am until Saturday at 7pm I recall nothing. Nothing at all.
Worth reading the entire thread. Here's a follow-up comment from bro wander:
The police took a record of what I remembered and asked if it is possible I just spent all the cash and lost my phone in a drunken stupor. I could only reply that there is NO WAY I would vanish from my family all bloody day! NO WAY I would forget everything for damn near 12 hours!! They said okay then - they'll ask around and talk to the bars. I bloody hope they do that!!
I didnt get the sense they were putting this on a very high priority. Instead, I got the sense they were thiniking I'm "Just some drunken punter who took it a bit too far and is now covering his tracks!". Yeah, I am a drunken punter - but someone STILL drugged and robbed me!! Damn near killed me!! And it will happen again!
