To the Guy Who Tried to Mug Me in

Downtown Savannah , GA the night before last.

Date: 2009-03-23, 3:43 AM EST

I was the guy with the black Burberry jacket that you demanded I hand over, shortly after you pulled the knife on me and my girlfriend. You also asked for my girlfriend's purse and earrings.

I hope you somehow come across this message. I'd like to apologize.

I didn't expect you to crap in your pants when I drew my pistol after you took my jacket. Truth is, I was wearing the jacket for a reason that evening, and it wasn't that cold outside. You see, my girlfriend had just bought me that Kimber Model 1911 .45 ACP pistol for Christmas, and we had just picked up a shoulder holster for it that evening. Beautiful pistol, eh?

It's a very intimidating weapon when pointed at your head, isn't it? I know it probably wasn't a great deal of fun walking back to wherever you'd come from with that brown sludge flopping about in your pants. I'm sure it was even worse since you also ended up leaving your shoes, cell phone, and wallet with me. I couldn't have you calling up any of your budd ies to come help you try to mug us again.

I took the liberty of calling your mother, or "Momma" as you had her listed in your cell, and explaining to her your situation. I also bought myself and four other people in the gas station this morning a tank full of gas on your credit card. The guy with the big motor home took 150 gallons and was extremely grateful!

I gave your shoes to one of the homeless guys over by Vinnie Van Go Go's, along with all of the cash in your wallet.

I threw the wallet in a fancy pink "pimp mobile" parked at the curb after I broke the windshield and side window out and keyed the driver’s side. I called a bunch! of phone sex numbers from your cell phone. They'll be on your bill in case you'd like to know which ones. Ma Bell just shut down the line, and I've only had the phone for a little over a day now, so I don't know what's going on with that. I hope they haven't permanently cut off your service.

I could only get in two threatening phone calls to the DA's office and one to the < SPAN class=yshortcuts>FBI with it. The FBI guy was really pissed and we had a long chat (I guess while he traced the number).

I'd also like to apologize for not killing you and instead making you walk back home humiliated. I'm hoping that you'll reconsider your choice of path in life. Next time you might not be so lucky…



- Alex

I was fully aware it could be a fake...after all, it was on the internet. Doesn't mean I didn't enjoy the story...

The real story

To the Guy Who Tried to Mug Me in
From a very confused individual

Downtown Savannah , GA the night before last.

Date: 2009-03-23, 3:43 AM EST

I was the guy with the black Burberry jacket that you demanded I hand over, shortly after you pulled the knife on me and my girlfriend. You also asked for my girlfriend's purse and earrings.

I imagine you look pretty silly wearing our stuff, but whatever!

I didn't expect you to model the jacket, purse and earings for me. You see, my girlfriend had just bought me that Burberry jacket for Christmas, and we had just picked up her matching purse that evening. Beautiful couple, eh?

It's a very gay statement when a guy’s clothes match their girlfriend’s purse, isn't it? I know it probably wasn't a great deal of fun walking back to wherever you'd come from wearing our stuff. I'm sure it was even worse since your shoes didn’t match.

The below # is my cell phone. If you or any of your buddies need some fashion tips please call (judging from the way you looked, you need it)

I took the liberty of calling you "Momma" as you kind of reminded me her. She is in the same situation. I also bought her and four other people Burberry jackets, matching purses and cheap earrings this morning (yes, I need some help). Mom’s guy friend, with the big motor home was extremely grateful! I don’t know what to think of that.

I gave your shoes a good once over. If you go to the shoe store near Vinnie Van Go Go's, along with all of the cash in your wallet, I think you may be able to pick up something to match the outfit.

I threw up in my fancy pink "pimp mobile" parked at the curb after I broke the windshield and side window out and keyed my driver’s side that night. I called a bunch! of phone sex numbers from my cell phone. They'll be on my bill in case you'd like to know. Ma Bell just shut down the line, and I've only had the phone for a little over a day now, so I don't know what's going on with that. I hope they haven't permanently cut off my service.

I could only get in two threatening phone calls to the DA's office and one to the < SPAN class=yshortcuts>FBI with it. The FBI guy was really pissed and we had a long chat (I guess while he traced the number).

I'd like to apologize ranting about my problems while you wer mugging me and making you walk back home humiliated wearing my stuff. I'm hoping that you'll reconsider your choice of path in life. Next time you might not be so lucky, it could be someone wearing fake furs or something.

wouldnt the badguy have seen the shoulder mount aftet taking off the jacket? hell, the very first move in taking off a jacket would have exposed a shoulder mounted pistol. and his arms would have been halfway down the sleeves and tied up.

i think the story should have left that part out, and gone straight to the pistol to the face move. the rest is excellent!

I am very disappointed in all of you! I look in on a "craigslist personals" post and all I get some tired repost of fictional story about some guys pulling a gun on a crook?

I was expecting cross gender multiple partner expose at the very least.

Very disappointing in deed!

WORK ON IT!
