Tumbe
A robbery, scam, or rip-off where someone takes your money or belongings. In Mexico, a tumbe can be anything from a street mugging to an online purchase that never arrived. It comes from "tumbar," meaning to knock down, and it perfectly captures that feeling of getting knocked over by someone who just took what was yours.
