This happened some time ago... but I still think is worth telling.
Saturday 8:04 some years ago
I was going to attend to class, a guy I will call Mr random asked me for the hour, so I pulled up the cell phone and I showed. Right after that he asked if I was from a band of whatever. then he asked for some coins for a "bus ride home". So just the moment I took the wallet off my pocket, Mr Random snatches it from my hand, he tried to run away But I locked him down with my arms, I got him by the neck (he was much taller and agile than me) I pushed him against a steel door I yelled him "GIVE ME MY WALLET" about 3 times Mr random threw the wallet to the floor and said "there it is" so I picked it up all was there except for 213 uruguayan pesos so, me chubby, short-legged and with a backpack on I chased for around 3 blocks.... of course, I never catched him.
I had to report it to the local police station.. after geiving the description of Mr Random, the officer asked me: "Was he Homosexual?" I was dumbfounded, still I said no.
So I went where I was meant to go, my teacher asked me what happened to me, Why did I came one hour late, me, like not caring bout much I said I was mugged. the silence was so loud.
after asking the obviopus question I resumed class.
Now I'm more careful to stranger and to which I aim my generosity at.
I wonder what you would have done them moment the Mr random snatches your wallet.

I've never been mugged before at the moment and only happened that time.

In other occasions I've played the game "I'm not worth your time" by showing them my empty wallet, it also helped the fact that I wasn't wearing nice clothes at the moment.
I also had a nice amount of money in my pants's pocket as I was on my way to make a payment... so that was close

Permalink Reply by Michael D. Denny on December 9, 2012 at 11:59pm Sounds more akin to a purse snatching than a mugging. "mugging" implies you either took an ass whippin' or came very near it. This poof just snatched your wallet out of your hands and tried to run for it.
Aint everyone cut out for a life of crime.
