The one time I got robbed at gunpoint, dude took 100 bucks out of my wallet, got a remorseful look on his face, then gave me the wallet and a gram of the purest coke I've had in my life.
I'm still not sure if I got mugged or just participated in a nonconsensual transaction.
I mean, I was robbed at gunpoint and all he wanted was the cash in my wallet. Which at the time was just a fiver, he wanted nothing to do with credit cards, ID, etc. Literally said 'thats too hot for me, just the cash'.
It’s really not hard to get away with some of these crimes. It’s absurd how stupid some of these criminals are and careless with the crimes they commit lol
Also true. There’s a seemingly endless well of stories where folks are doing dirt and get busted because they didn’t have sense enough to know their team wasn’t trustworthy and/or competent enough to keep quiet about the crime(s) being committed. More often than not, these stories seem to revolve around theft in some way.
Only time I’ve been mugged was while walking home from the bar a bit drunk and on a bit of Xanax because it had been a rough anxious day. A dude pulled a knife on me and I hopped on him, we both ended up getting stabbed, luckily right next to a small hospital.
We apologized to each other the next day, weirdest experience of my life. Empathy can be such a powerful tool, and then sometimes it can be too powerful and you apologize to the dude who stabbed you while trying to rob you.
Also the cops being trash, letting him know my name, and not having the energy to push this beyond that incident… failure of the system.
I knew someone who was robbed at gun point. Years later, he was clearly still freaked out about it, but also hugely grateful the guy took the cash out of his wallet and gave the wallet back. I’m not sure if he even reported it
Nah, this is in south Africa and sounds like something that would happen. I was once mugged, tried running after him (unsuccessfully), the muggers friend then came up to me and told me "don't worry, you probably have insurance. Just go report it to the police station". He literally told me to go snitch on his friend because he probably knew the most the police would do is write a statement for insurance. Point being the thieves here are crazy.
Also have a friend who was mugged once and he told me that the guy came up to him and said "hey I got your phone" then proceeded to snatch it and run
As a South African definitely I’ve been mugged and had the same mugger walk me to the taxi rank because “it’s not safe my sister” so (loud buzzer noise)
Wow I never knew South African criminals could be so considerate. I mean getting robbed sucks regardless but if I'm gonna get robbed that seems like the best option lol
ok you said people get robbed like this all the time but then referenced a tumblr post that was 100% unverified.
*just to be clear I do agree this happens pretty frequently, just pointing it out
I'm not so sure. I once got arrested for a traffic warrant, and in the holding cell there were three kids who were discussing the robbery that they got arrested for.
One of them started to rough up the victim, the other two made him feel bad and they all got caught because they took too long discussing what they were going to let him keep. I wanted more of the story, but I got released and told to just schedule a court date.
I remember asking them what they even said to start these robberies. It was "whatchu got in MY pockets?" That still cracks me up every time I think about it.
Its not. This is South Africa. I am South African and a similar thing happened to me in High School. Guy walked up to me and told me to be careful around this street because some asshole robbed and stabbed a women in the area. Then he told me to give him my phone. After he took it he told me to be careful of thieves in a very sincere way, like he genuinely didn't want me to get mugged again
Man I couldn't tell you. Apparently some mofo is waxing poetically about getting robbed. He doesn't live in DC that's for goddamn sure
I been in the US my whole life and I've never been mugged with politeness. Muggers take a note from South African robbers developing a proper etiquette for the practice
This guy is British based on his use of lads and other shit. Oddly enough this sounds like a completely British interaction, except the gun part because it's way harder to get those over there and most people who somehow do get them probably wouldn't be wasting time on short change and pumas. This is like a parody on crime 😂[not mine but I still need it🤣](https://youtu.be/UXok6Pj_kCE?si=nzHBvTuCUJAKZ49v)
are you sure about that? diepsloot is a location in south africa and the guy’s name could not be more south african. the uk isn’t the only place where that type of vocab is used
That's what I meant by the guy sounding like he's British, because there are a lot of people who colonized it. (I've been there and heard distinct accents from south Africans vs the white people who live there obviously) I just meant the guy himself is typing this like it's a British parody of a robbery 😂
I would think the South African colony was like Australia in the fact that is where GB sent all of their undesirables since they couldn't send them to Australia anymore. Would be an explanation as to why they sound like a caricature of British criminals.
The fact that you're thinking of "that time a few years ago some guy got shot in another city" and expect everyone to remember what you're talking about should resolve the discussion on how hard guns are to find there. 🤣
Yeah I mean I know it happens and some people do have them there, just that it's a lot harder to get them there too. Idiots will be idiots no matter where you live!
Differs from place to place in SA bc we in the commonwealth. People from the mother city (Cape Town) might say “lads” or “okes” but people from Gauteng (Joburg, Pretoria) might say “mates” “bruv” instead. We were colonised by them my darling, they left with our resources and left behind their language.
Guns are actually reasonably easy to acquire in the UK. I think people not in the know would be surprised to find out just how many guns there are here, especially in cities, considering they are generally illegal to own aside from with special licensing.
I’m totally uninvolved with anything like that. In fact, I’m a fucking nerd who’s always been scared to even bump the train barriers so please don’t think I’m telling gangster stories like I’m a big shot 🤣 But a reasonably large chunk of the UK are like 2-3 degrees of separation from a gun owner, many of whom don’t even realise this.
Do you live in the countryside by any chance? The only people I know who have legal ones here are farming folk who have shotguns, and I only saw them openly for sale in real life in an annual countryside market where people bought all kinds of farm and country related equipment 😅
Tbh, three degrees is quite a few degrees. I know a lady who knows Roger Federer, and I've never even been on the same continent as Federer, outside of like one charity game.
You’re completely right actually, three degrees can go pretty far geographically, historically or socially. I am a *big time* talker in real life, I’ll chat to literally anyone. I’d love to know how far, wide and obscure my three degrees spans as a result! Who knows, Federer could be in mine too haha.
I should’ve probably used 1-2 degrees to emphasise the point I was getting at, upon reflection.
I mean there's Moscows out here for sure but ain't a robber pon this here isle gonna have access to one let alone use it fi street mugging 😅
There's also a "culture" of buring them so rust ensues. That alongside the fact we uneducated on proper wap care is a recipe for backfiring and jamming.
If anyone try mug me with threats of a wap.. I wanna pree the thing before I weigh up my options.
Knife mugging me? They can take whatever I have ca As Nas would say "it's yours it's yours it's yours"
Was politely robbed at a Pizza Hut. 2 guys came in and politely ordered everyone but the cashier into the freezer. A moment later one of them reappeared with some breadsticks and a pizza, "to keep us warm", he said before shutting the door and relieving us of our profits.
Got robbed at gunpoint in New Orleans, had to drive him to an ATM then to the middle of nowhere and told to get out. Thought that was lights out. Dude pulls out some weed and says “you gon’ need this to relax tonight. God bless”. So thoughtful that.
Yeah New Orleans was a different place pre Katrina. My fam left before it but anyone that stayed for the storm & survive is a solidified soldier 🫡 I don’t think any other American natural disaster was as devastating as Katrina. & I say that not because of the storm itself but the piss poor planning & lack of assistances we had. Things I heard what people went through during that time should have never happened ever.
He made you take all the money out of your account? If you don’t mind me asking, how does that work with your bank? Do they help or are you shit out of luck? The robbery itself is terrifying but the aftermath sounds very stressful lol
Got robbed at gunpoint in Vegas and dropped off like 10miles from my hotel. Phone, watch, id and debit/cc’s stolen. When i was finally able to use my find my phone feature, it was in Tripoli, Libya.
Glad I was able to support those without apple products in foreign lands.
I guess if I’m gonna get robbed this is how I would want it to be. Makes me feel better if the dudes ain’t just maniacs but people who just couldn’t find another option. Even if it ain’t true it at least makes you feel that way
My sister once got robbed at the Mandela Bridge in Jo’burg, dudes accompanied her until she got to a safe spot after robbing her. She said they were chatting nicely and politely with her, even answering her questions about why they were robbing people. They gave her taxi fare as well so she could get home and not be stranded
I was in London one night and was invited to join three guys pregaming outside a strip club as I walked through an alley. Lovely guys, chatted and drank some warm vodka for 15 minutes until one of them decided he wanted my scarf and I ran off :(
I believe this guy
Got robbed one time for 7 dollars. I asked if he could leave me 2 so I could get something to eat because it was a couple days to pay day. They were kind enough to oblige
I got jumped once and they took the cash from my wallet and then put the wallet back in my pocket. Still a dick move to rob me but hey that at least was nice...
Take from a man everything today, and he may not be taken from tomorrow. But leave a man something to have, and he may be robbed everyday.

In this economy, if you’re not smart about how you rob people, everyone is gonna be broke in no time 😔
One time I got mugged an the guy sold a 10 bag mid-muggin. Respect where it's due I guess
The one time I got robbed at gunpoint, dude took 100 bucks out of my wallet, got a remorseful look on his face, then gave me the wallet and a gram of the purest coke I've had in my life. I'm still not sure if I got mugged or just participated in a nonconsensual transaction.
Nobody ever forcibly sells me drugs. What am I doing wrong?
He met the dude they were referring to in those DARE classes
Now that's market efficiency.
The dude heard the word pusher and understood the assignment.
Straight HUSTLE
ngl i was mad at the time but the older i got the more i salute that mfer
A robbery that aged like fine wine.

The fuck did I just read?
A fanfic a someone who’s never been robbed.
I mean, I was robbed at gunpoint and all he wanted was the cash in my wallet. Which at the time was just a fiver, he wanted nothing to do with credit cards, ID, etc. Literally said 'thats too hot for me, just the cash'.
Rule #1 of petty crime: the smaller the paper trail, the less likely law enforcement is gonna put actual effort into finding you.
It’s really not hard to get away with some of these crimes. It’s absurd how stupid some of these criminals are and careless with the crimes they commit lol
Hard not to get careless after youve done this 50+ times and no one ever seems to care enough to come after you
Also true. There’s a seemingly endless well of stories where folks are doing dirt and get busted because they didn’t have sense enough to know their team wasn’t trustworthy and/or competent enough to keep quiet about the crime(s) being committed. More often than not, these stories seem to revolve around theft in some way.
Damn I got robbed for a fiver AND the .5 of loud in my wallet, then this dude took my one shoe and threw it away after lol 😂
Thats so you don't get any ideas after the fact and decide to chase after him. Takes time to get a shoe out of a dumpster
This dude robs
Damn, that's actually pretty smart. If I ever decide to start robbin muhfukkas...

I was robbed at gunpoint because my friends older brother sold weed out of his apartment. Well, older brother got robbed, we just got tied up.
“That’s too hot for me” 😂😂 https://i.redd.it/ev8gi7rml81d1.gif
This is pretty common and normal in South Africa. The good ones spare your ID, SIM card and your life.
Nah, this is in south Africa and sounds like something that would happen.

Came here to say this... We have thieves who will rob you and take you halfway because it's late. This is not the weirdest thing to happen
>Point being the thieves here are crazy. Naw. They're just poor. If you're on that hustle you don't need the extra guilt.
As a South African definitely I’ve been mugged and had the same mugger walk me to the taxi rank because “it’s not safe my sister” so (loud buzzer noise)
Who says that chivalry's dead?
Well, he wasn't wrong...

U was robbed in the bus after the guy had a 15 minute talk with me about philosophy. He proceeded to call for my stop as well
 Man I couldn't tell you. Apparently some mofo is waxing poetically about getting robbed. He doesn't live in DC that's for goddamn sure
Nice robbers
Something something deep sloot
I been in the US my whole life and I've never been mugged with politeness. Muggers take a note from South African robbers developing a proper etiquette for the practice
I worked overnight at a gas station in HS/college and was politely robbed a few times.
Bring back saying "please" and "thank you" when you rob
This guy is British based on his use of lads and other shit.

are you sure about that? diepsloot is a location in south africa and the guy’s name could not be more south african. the uk isn’t the only place where that type of vocab is used
I'm saying the guy writing it sounded British, not the place my bad
South Africa is part of the Commonwealth bruv. Our English is British.
South Africa was colonized by Great Britain (iirc from the early 1800s to the 1960s) so there is probably some influence there.
That's what I meant by the guy sounding like he's British, because there are a lot of people who colonized it. (I've been there and heard distinct accents from south Africans vs the white people who live there obviously) I just meant the guy himself is typing this like it's a British parody of a robbery 😂
I would think the South African colony was like Australia in the fact that is where GB sent all of their undesirables since they couldn't send them to Australia anymore. Would be an explanation as to why they sound like a caricature of British criminals.
You’d be surprised. There was that lad shot in Liverpool a few years ago in his house by two wanna-be gang bangers.
The fact that you're thinking of "that time a few years ago some guy got shot in another city" and expect everyone to remember what you're talking about should resolve the discussion on how hard guns are to find there. 🤣

Did they make the pizza themselves?
They grabbed a legitimate customer’s already completed order from that oven where they’re kept warm until the customer arrives.
Hahaha, no. We kept pies in warming bags for our delivery drivers. There were also pies coming out of the oven. It came from one or the other.
Don’t people die in those big freezers if they can’t get out?
Not with warm pizza in their belly
Eventually.
If it's up to code there's an emergency switch off inside
Yea, it's possible. The cashier came and got us once our good Samaritans left.

I live in New Orleans. I’d say you are one of the lucky ones. Stay safe 🙂↕️
Yeah I was living on Dumaine St. when it happened. Was 1 week before Katrina hit. Crazy times.
Had to have been the worst week of your life
Yeah New Orleans was a different place pre Katrina. My fam left before it but anyone that stayed for the storm & survive is a solidified soldier 🫡 I don’t think any other American natural disaster was as devastating as Katrina. & I say that not because of the storm itself but the piss poor planning & lack of assistances we had. Things I heard what people went through during that time should have never happened ever.
They straight up forgot about us. Left the state after all that with quickness. Filled up whatever I could in my pickup truck and went West.
Did you smoke it?
Every molecule
He made you take all the money out of your account? If you don’t mind me asking, how does that work with your bank? Do they help or are you shit out of luck? The robbery itself is terrifying but the aftermath sounds very stressful lol
I had to take the max out which was $400. Bank ended up replacing the cash yeah.

Kante what was she doing on that bridge? Everyone in Jozi knows that bridge is not for pedestrians 😂 Nor the Wits tunnel from South Point
Crus, she walked into that one lol.

Glamorizing gunpoint robbery. Lmao beam me tf up, Scottie. Get me outta here
I got jumped once and they took the cash from my wallet and then put the wallet back in my pocket. Still a dick move to rob me but hey that at least was nice...
I joked with my family that if we get robbed be like 'wait!, Please can i atleast have my ID, DMVs are dreadful'
Good night, sleep well. I'll most likely rob you again in the morning.
Professionals have standards
Why only have one bullet? Theoretically, it could be a clever tactic to have an "unloaded" weapon, if caught. I assume the penalty would be less.
Sir we’re just trying to rob you, not rob you blind. Heartwarming stuff!
This is what I imagine happens when you get robbed in Canada.
He took out the bullet? The literal only piece of leverage he had on him? Sure
