In response to "A coworker got mugged friday. I've never been or seen a mugging. Who here's been mugged/not mugged, and are there any wild details?" by Max

I was about six years old

with my twin and mom in the parking lot of our apartment building, at night. We were living in Hollywood. The guy had a revolver. He was asking my mom to let him in our house. My mom argued with him, but calmly! She said "Why should I let you in my house, etc." Like stalling him. Then some undercover cops drove up and arrested the man.

That's pretty much all I remember. I shall have to ask my mom again about that night.

did he ask, "Have you ever danced with the devil in the pale moonlight?" -- nm - Beryllium Jun 1, 10:33 3
- It's such a *distant* memory for me. Since then, I've lived in LA all my life, go out a lot a night, and have never been mugged since. - con_carne Jun 1, 10:39 2
  - you are a tall guy, iirc. I think muggers generally tend to avoid bigger targets - Guy Jun 1, 10:40 1
    - That's about the best explanation I can think of (that and common sense). It's what I tell people, anyway. -- nm - con_carne Jun 1, 10:42
