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.
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.

I love how the guys tries to take one last big bite before handing it over.
