Milwaukee muggers see Army ID, return wallet

The 21-year-old University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee student said he was walking home from work about 1:15 a.m. Tuesday when he was pulled into an alley and told to lay face down and with a gun to his neck. Four men took his wallet, $16, keys, his cell phone and even a PowerBar wrapper from his pants pockets, he said.

But the hostile tone quickly changed when one of the robbers, whom the reservist presumed was the leader, saw an Army ID in the wallet. The robber told the others to return the items and they put most of his belongings on the ground next to him, including the wrapper, the reservist said.

"The guy continued to say throughout the situation that he respects what I do and at one point he actually thanked me and he actually apologized," said the reservist, who asked not to be identified Tuesday because the robbers still had his keys.

The reservist said he asked the men, who all had hoods or hats covering their faces, if he could get up and they said he could before starting to walk away.

"The leader of the group actually walked back, gave me a quick fist bump, which was very strange," he said.

Moral of the story - Get a phony army reserve ID and hope your muggers are patriotic.

I have to say, these must be some dumb-ass criminals that don't understand finance. If there are four of them, that means they have to split the take ($16) four ways. Plus selling the phone isn't going to be easy. How much do PowerBar wrappers go for these days anyways? To think, I've been throwing mine out now for years. Also, they're not great a choosing a profitable target. How many valuables do they think a 21 year-old college student is going to have on him? I think $16 was probably on the high-end of what an average college student would have in cash. These guys would be better off getting a job flipping burgers and would probably make more money than mugging poor college students.

But they took his keys, I wonder if it is a nice car.

 

[blakbearddelite]

I bet you the guy had a white 2000 Impala LS, nothing to write home about. They probably just would use it for a toilet and move on.

So his army training didn't kick in? Headline shoulda been "army reservist beats 4 muggers to death with powerbar wrapper"

He said he's never been deployed, only having signed up for the Army Reserves about a year ago.
