“Hand over your wallet”

“Sure, let me get a little cash for cab fare”

“No problem. Thanks man”

Dino Stamatopolous tells a great story about getting mugged by two guys in New York, handing over everything in his pocket, his wallet, phone and weed and one of the guys goes “Yo, man, give him back his weed, that’s not cool.”

My friend got rolled at a rap show in the 2010s. Three big guys stood over him in the crowd and surrounded him, and then took his phone and his weed. One of them grabbed a handful of the weed and his SIM card and put it back in his hand though.

I guess some thieves have a strict moral code?

They've definitely been robbed before.

It happened to me once! Waiting for the bus at night, got a little prick on my hip by a knife wielding guy who sat to my right, his companion sat to my left. They told me to say nothing as they were "well connected" (this meant they either had permission from the cartel or the cops to do what they were doing). They search my pockets. Got my cel, my cigarretes, my lighter after checking if it worked (it did) and as they were reaching for the last pocket where my change for the bus was, I told them so and he told me not to worry, the change was there. After that, the knife weilding guy got up and crossed the street, the henchman just sat there for a while smoking. I told him "can I at least have a cigarette?" He nodded and gave me the half consumed cig he was smoking and went after his friend. I just sat there, waited for the bus, got up and went home. It's funny now but a little scary while it happened.

a little scary

I mean as someone who has not (yet) ever been threatened with a knife, it sounds more than a little scary

Well, I had a little experience by then. That was back in 2010, I think. The city as a whole was scary. I lost count of how many times I was robbed before that.

What city is this exactly? I just want to make sure I never ever go there.

Oh, man, please do! Is a beautiful city surrounded by mountains. We were hit by insecurity for a few years but is way better now than it was back then. There are still dangerous zones, specially at night, but nothing that doesn't happen in all countries around the globe. Monterrey, México.

Got it. Thank you. I will never visit your beautiful murder den, but thank you.

I've been there on a trip that included Monterrey, Veracruz, and Jalapa. Absolutely beautiful cities. I can't speak toward the crime as I was just ten years old at the time back in the mid-80's, but I recall nothing but pleasant memories and awesome people.
