robbed blind
Stripped of everything
To be robbed blind is to be thoroughly cheated or stolen from, often without realizing it until later: The contractor robbed us blind on that renovation.
The phrase suggests such complete theft that the victim might as well have been unable to see it happening.
Sometimes used hyperbolically for any situation where someone pays far too much.
