Well, my 19 year streak is over.

[eDotd]

I went 19 years living in New York without ever getting mugged, stuck up, or robbed. That ended today when 3 dudes approached me and told me to empty my pockets. I always wondered why people who were getting robbed don't just do what the robber tells them so they won't get hurt, especially when there's more than one guy. Unfortunately I found out why today. It's not natural to just drop or hand over your possesions, especially when those possesions include a wallet, iPod Touch, a $1700 check, and 2 flash drives (on my key chain).

I would've lost over $2000 worth of things today if it weren't for the cops. I swear it was like a damn movie. All it took was a little *whoop whoop" of the siren and these guys took off running the other way. As I picked up my keys (I had begun to empty out my right pocket first, since the iPod and wallet were in my left) two girls walked by and one of them said "Were you just getting robbed?" Of course not! I just let men on the street randomly frisk me at will . I ignored her and headed to the next block and hopped in a cab.

So, my streak is over. People talk about New York and how it's known for its crime but that's the first time I've ever been in that type of situation. Although all they took was my pen (not sure if he even meant to take it, guess he just held on to it as he ran away), it was still a somewhat frightening experience. Now that I think about it what I did was incredibly stupid (not listening and emptying out my pockets), as I could've been seriously hurt.

Luckily you got away without being harmed and without anything being stolen.

I think if I lived there, I might have to carry a gun at all times to prevent that from happening. Luckily, that doesn't happen too much in High Point, North Carolina.

I'll stick to living in the woods where only wild animals can kill you instead of living in a big city where.....wild animals can kill you. Sorry to hear about that man.

It's good to hear that you made out okay. You're lucky the cops came.

Was hoping for a "I'm no longer a virgin" thread. [And no I didn't see the author of the thread at first]

But damn glad to hear you're ok man. Were there a lot of people around or what?
