(and pwned the bastard)

i was returning home from school (i live in an apartment building btw), and as i open the door downstairs this black dude comes running and i let him in, thinking he's one of my neighbours (there's a black family living there, and honestly it's kinda hard to tell them apart).

in the elevator i press the button for my floor (5th), and he just stands there, and when i ask him he says "uhh uhh 3". this is when i started suspecting, but the door was already closing. on the way up he asks to see my ipod (he saw the headphones hanging out of my shirt), and i deny him. after he insists i take it just a bit out of my pocket so he can get a peek. almost at the 3rd floor, he asks to see it closer and i say no, and he pulls out a knife. just then the lift stops at the 3rd floor and i open the door with my foot (it's a "normal" door, not those autmoatic ones). he then granbs and pulls away my headphones, and i push him hard back into the lift and force the door closed until the lift starts going up again (remember i had pressed for the 5th floor).

by the time he gets there i've already rang 5 or 6 neighbours so the guy just runs out.

the guy was caught on camera while we waited for the lift (wish the lift had a camera!), and we brought it to the police, but i doubt they'll get him.

hope he doesn't come back for revenge... he knows where i live now.

anyways, yeah, THIEVING LOW-LIFE PIECE OF SHIT GOT OWNED. hope he enjoys the headphones, they're worth almost 1/100th of the ipod he didn't steal. son of a bitch.

good job man! i only experienced one attempt of theft of my belongings and it was in Paris. A fucking 9(yes 9!!!) year old try to steal my backpack when it put it on the ground for a sec. Too bad for the little guy is that i have good reflexes and play soccer so i tackled the little shit. He ran away and i went on visiting the wonderful city of light. :twisted:

looking back i guess i walked the line between bravery and stupidity... but same way i could've got stabbed i could've given him a big hit right in the face... next time i guess.

what these animals don't understand, is that every time they they mug or steal from someone, someone starts carrying blades, peppers spray, tasers, even guns, and everyone is less and less trusting of eachother. i hope one time they just really want to know the time, and get their brains blown out for asking the wrong person.

animals.

When shit like this happens, kick them in the nuts or poke them in the eye. I grew up in a shithole, I got jumped all the time and this works like a charm.

Plus, I'm also a badass, so that helps.

i was almost in panic.. next time if i keep it cool i'll try to punch him in the face.

i thought of looking to the left and saying like "whoa!" and then the guy would look, and i'd punch the fucker right in the face, but i couldn't remember that in the panic in the elevator with a guy with a knife.

thieving low life piece of shit animals

No good. Don't punch. What happens if this dude has a concrete chin? He'll laugh at you and then STAB YOUR FACE!!! :shock: You need to do something that will distract them like a boot to the nuts, a finger in the eye, or a fucking ninja chop to the adam's apple (this one is harder to perform, though).

The kick to the nuts is good, but often it's like a punch to the stomach where there's a delayed reaction. In that brief moment the guy could STAB YOUR FUCKING FACE!!! :shock: The best is to poke them in the eye, they'll drop whatever they're doing then. After, you can kick them in the nuts, then ninja chop their neck!

fucking thieves. if it was for me ill return during the days that if you stole something you'd get your hands cut off.

that's fucking barbaric Sailorman !!! :?

Yeah, i am a mean Sailorman. :twisted:

That's right. I've seen people punch others only to hurt their hand bones really bad and some guys are just too strong to bring down with a punch. In your situation, the guy is probably used to getting punched and knows how to fight, so you shouln't really do that.

If you cannot run away or get help just give the guy whatever he wants because he can have it that way or he can slit your throat and take it the other way.

In case you do have to attack him I suggest you hit the nose with all your force, that's probably the easiest target that you can deliver a stunning blow.

At first I was going to post a "fucking thieves are lowlifes" post, but after I read through the posts I started laughing. When you said;

I laughed out loud. That is exactly what I think I would do if I got mugged. And Eyesore's suggestions were funny too. Funny b/c I'm sure they'll work. Nothing worse than poking yourself in the eye. Plus...HAHAHA!! Imagine what that would look like. HAHAHA!! Imagine yourself poking some dude in the eye. I just think that would be damn funny to see.

Anyway, good job dude. That takes balls.

Jesus Christ. I'm glad you're ok. Also, if you do take Eyesore's advice about going for the neck, be sure to fold your fingers over at the knuckle and hold your thumb in close; it's called a knife hand. My mom took several years of Aikido and she taught me a little bit of self-defense.

fold the fingers at the knuckles and hold the thumb in close.. isn't that just a clenched fist?
EDIT 2 - or is it folding them at one of the finger joints?

but i think the best solution is the kick to the balls. it's kinda girly but we all know it can be VERY effective.

fuckin low-life bastard.

now i'm kinda scared, and i'll be leaving the ipod at home for the next few days. the tube journey to college will suck but that's a minor problem.

EDIT - if i had more room i'd give him Sweet Chin Music (if you don't watch wwe, it's shawn michaels's finisher - a kick straight to the, er, chin)

The second set of knuckles, not the first. There's nothing wrong with a swift kick to the nuts, though.

If you're nervous about your iPod, you might try getting a different pair of headphones. That way people won't immediately assume it's valuable; it could be some piece of shit portable cd player, and they might be less likely to bother you.

Somebody drew a knife on me once, so I drew my sword! I choped his head off! No-one stands a chance against a real pirate HAR HAR!!

but the problem is the same guy appearing again.

i've been told that he won't because there are many other people out there for him to rob who won't give him any trouble, but others say that he'll wait for me at the building entrance. if so, i guess i'll be ready. act scared... AND BAM! GOODBYE NUTS (it's also a good choice because hopefully he won't have any thieving low-life kids)!!.

Bummer dude.

As my French-speaking friends would say, qua?
