Vidas Robadas (Spanish for "Stolen Lives", but officially translated as Taking lifes) is a dramatic telenovela that aired on Telefe since 3 March 2008 to October 29 of that year, with a final broadcast performed at the Opera Theater, and its 134 episodes averaged about 16.0 rtg. It was directed by Miguel Colom. The story unfolds in the context of abduction of persons for forced prostitution, and draws parallels with the case of Marita Verón. Susana Trimarco herself, mother of Marita Veron, worked with the scriptwriters Marcelo Camaño and Guillermo Salmerón.

The story revolves around Juliana Miguez, a girl from Rio Manso, fictional town in the Province of Buenos Aires, who is kidnapped by a network of human trafficking. It represents her point of view, from within the network, that of his mother, who tries to find and rescue her through various means, and the criminals who run that operating system. At first the story is held equally by that history and a telenovela plot involving Facundo Arana, the most famous actor of the cast, but the acclaim achieved by the most committed portion of the plot led to this one to include the whole story and all characters thereof. Bautista Amaya's character, played by Arana, reaches characteristics of an action hero instead of those of a gentleman of a normal telenovela.

Like other previous novels as Resistiré, El Deseo or Montecristo, fiction was used as a means of social criticism. The series was declared of social interest by the city legislature of Buenos Aires and the House of Representatives of Argentina, and also won numerous awards, which emphasize the Martin Fierro de Oro in 2009.
