I do not know how much you invested but it is sad seeing people (especially Cartel members :-) ) leaving the game...

Don't worry, if you want to leave, feel free to...

That you forgot that Battlemode starts is a pitty, the whole game and community waited on the start I guess...

Anyway...

Upgrading the Storage Buildings ( first upgrades are not too expensive and possible with ressources) to have a higher "Safe Storge" might be a good idea...

Also some Big Mamas in the defence :-)

Then putting some in the heist might be clever to accelerate your ROI...

Also check out the Steemit-Profile/blog of the one who exploited you too check if it is a "real" Steemian or just a Drugwars Raider...

Maybe you can contact him and ask for refund etc.

And further: as Cartel member just tell it in Cartel Discord and they'll take revenge on the one that robbed you... that's what the Cartel is t here for...
