What is the strangest experience you ever had in an elevator?

When I was 19 years old I was in an elevator in a high rise building at night on my way to the 50th floor.

At the 5th floor the elevator stopped and a man got in and pressed the ground floor button. The doors shut and he suddenly grabbed my purse! I stood there, looking at him as he franticly started pressing the first floor button. I told him the car would go all the way up first, he kept pressing the button.

We slowly went up. Old elevator in an old building. No cameras (that I know of). About halfway up I asked if he could take the cash out and leave me the purse so I would not lose my pictures and identification. He said sure, took the cash, handed me the purse. I mumbled thanks.

Then when we got to the top, he said “please stay in the elevator until I get off”. I stood there, we went all the way down to the first floor, he got out and then I went back up to the top floor. He got about $60.
