Mobile Phone

May 11th, 2008

About a week ago Mackenzie and I were walking around Greenlake in Seattle and three guys came up and put a gun to my head, told us to get on the ground, stole my stuff and hit me on the head with the handgun. Kenz and I are both physically alright. We’re both working through the mental aspect, but I think we’ll be ok. They ended up stealing a $30 LG flip phone (Score!), my wallet and my jacket.

Also, they spent $99.43 at Jack in the Box on my credit card right after they mugged us. Classy.

I am undergoing the arduous task of recollecting phone numbers. If you and I talk on the telephone, would mind either emailing me (thelongbrake at gmail dot com) or leaving a comment with your number? I would greatly appreciate it.

    LB,

    Dude, they probably work at Jack in the Box. Or at least know someone who does. Then they could run that tab and just take the money like in a “cash back” situation. I have friends that worked fast food who’ve done it lots…..

    Seriously… who buys 99 bucks worth of fast food?

    I hope you’re both ok, it seems that you are.

    Also, Internet explorer seems to dislike your page… any suggestions?

    @Joe G.: Sorry for your IE woes. It’s beyond me as to how to reconcile between all of the browsers. I recommend downloading Firefox.

    my dream date is a meal worth 100 dollars at a jack in the box. (how many jumbo jacks do you think that is?) too bad it was only 99.43.

    just kidding. but seriously… classy…

    glad you’re alright.

    joshua.
    a similar thing happened to me recently.
    i’m in argentina right now and on my first full day here myself and a couple of other girls were robbed by a couple of guys with a knife.
    it really puts things into perspective.
    a lot of stuff was stolen, but everybody was okay and that was all that mattered.
    glad to hear all is okay.
