A little tip
My Nan went to Egypt earlier this year. She was with a big gang of her OAP friends,so they spent their time going on coach trips to various sightseeing thingys. The first day,all the OAPs exept my Nan went out. When they returned,a few of them had had their valuables stolen by little kids who hang about on the street. The kids beg you for money,but if you dont give it to them,they'll steal it anyway.

Now,my Nan is very well travelled,so she knew how to remedy this. She knew that biros are very in demand in countries like Egypt,so she brought a bundle of pens with her and gave them to the begging kids. And,lo and behold,no muggings!

Mugging Victim
Was once the willing victim of a female mugger. She stole my heart.

I'm sorry Silvie, I love you.

Found out after...
I got mugged once taking a bag of cash to bank at the post office for my boss.

Six (6) blokes jumped me, gave me a good kicking and ran off with the bag.

Police came, bla bla bla, accused me of being in on the theft.

I'm sat there thinking 'what was all the fuss about', It was only a couple of hundred quid in used notes and a few bags of 50p pieces. I was eventually released from police custody and went back to work (still very shaken) to be told by a colleague that the bag had actually contained nigh on 17 Grand!!

I can tell you now, 17 grand does not feel like 17 grand when it's in a black holdall, I genuinely believed my boss whe she told me that it was only a few small bags of cash.

Got followed everywhere by 'undercover' plods for a week.

This Irishman gets mugged in Liverpool.....
Probably an apocryphal story but it made me laugh. Told by a friend of a friend (you get the picture!)

Basically this Irish guy was walking through Liverpool, get's stoppped by two Scouse muggers.

He hands over his watch, his wallet, his mobile phone etc

As he's handing over the goods the Irish guy says "Actually, I'm not to bothered about this, because I'm a member of the IRA and by the end of today both of you will have your legs broken"

They hand back his watch, his wallet, his mobile phone......

well...
I was walking back from the train station after picking up a friend, and we got stopped for spare change twice in about 100m. Walked a bit further when a third bloke came up and said
"Excuse me, I'm really sorry to have to ask this but..."
So interrupted him and said "sorry, no cash"
and he got all huffy and went on about how he wasn't going to ask for money. Really wish i'd asked him what he was going to ask.
What the weather was like in Africa? Whether I could draw on his face in biro?
Not a mugging as such, but could have been. More amusing than anything

he picked the wrong guy to f*ck with
Friend of a friend story. We'll call the friend's friend Chuck.

Chuck was walking in San Francisco late one night, about 9 years ago, when he was stopped by a fellow who wished to relieve him of his valuables. Chuck, being a professional dancer and therefore rippling with limber, sinewy muscles, decided to defend himself rather than part with his wallet.

So the mugger shot and killed him.

Looks like Chuck picked the wrong mugger to f*ck with.
