Have you been robbed/mugged?

I want to ask my friend in Argentina if she has been robbed/mugged. Specifically while shopping or in a busy metropolitan area.
How do I say this, I have read some previous questions but they didn't really help.

The verb "to mug" does not seem to exist in Spanish.
And "a mugger" is translated like this.
mugger
sustantivo
- atracador(ora) (sustantivo masculino o femenino (attacker)
Which again does not really convey the same in Spanish as it does in English.

Hola,
También se puede usar "atracar".

I agree with Ian. The term "atracador," is the best to signify, "mugger."
