Another “genius moments in African criminality” story. A couple of less amusing stories to follow.
You would think they were trying to steal his Lambo. Nope. They were trying to steal his watch. I am sure it is a nice watch but really?
Two of them, one with a gun vs. a lone rich guy and a pizza delivery man that wasn’t getting involved. They came away with….
Nothing.
No car. No watch. Not even a free pizza. The guy fights two younger black men, one with a gun, to a standstill over the course of two minutes and then end up fleeing apparently empty handed.
In fairness, stealing a Lamborghini unless you have somewhere to sell it quickly as it is a distinctive car and certainly has a GPS tracking device isn’t a smart move but then again these are fairly typical African robbers so I am not expecting them to be smart. I am glad to see this guy fighting back, most people would have just given them the watch but compliance and submission is a signal to these hyaenas that they can abuse you even more.
Even though it was an unsuccessful robbery attempt, the guy is lucky to be alive as one of them had a gun and their famous impulse control might have led to a shooting. Being L.A. the victim likely wasn’t armed but more critically he also was paying no attention to his surroundings. The getaway car was parked very close to him with a thug hanging around when the victim was getting into the trunk of his Lambo….
You need to be paying attention no matter where you are and especially if you are in a place like Los Angeles. Again this guy is lucky he is still alive, he should have spotted the punk and the stopped car right away. Keep your head on a swivel, even if you don’t drive a Lamborghini.
Some watches cost twice as much as that Lamborghini. I've seen some custom watches priced in the six figures.
I personally have a Brietling watch that's worth about $3500 bucks. I have it put up now because it needs to be serviced, which means sending it off and about 6 or 7 hundred bucks for the work.
I tell my daughter, my wife, even my ex wife, and my son the cop to always, always, always, always be looking around when you get in or out of your car. ESPECIALLY when parking or at a gas station. People get robbed and seriously hurt all the time at gas stations because they just don't notice the bad guys just standing there. No Lambo required.
Fortunately,there were only 2 of them. The larger the troop of chimps the more mayhem.
Any transition zone.
