Well how about that eh? I've lived in sydney for a bit more than 2 weeks now and I just got mugged on the way home from work....
Here's what happened: I was catching the train home from work and I get off at wahroonga. I walk up the stairs and there's about 20 guys hanging around at the top. there's this guy walking towards me looking me in the eyes. He approaches me and says "Gimme your shit".
At this point I established that he wasn't the most elequent of attackers. I thought about saying something smart arsed, but I decided to make an attempt at ignorance. I start to walk away, but he stands in front of me blocking my path, and a couple of his mates were blocking my path backwards. So I decide to make an attempt at communication on a level he could understand.
"What shit?"
"Phones, wallets, money, whatever you got"
In a hope that he's not real bright, I decide to feed him some bullshit.
"I don't have anything, I just moved here. I've got a pack of smokes. Thats it"
"....Well... fuckin.... give us them"
So I pull out my pack of smokes and hand them over. At this point he took the smokes and returned to his mates.
So I got off pretty easy, considering that I now still have my phone, my wallet containing upwards of $400 in cash and, of course, I didn't get my head smashed into the pavement by at least 20 guys.
So I walk away, call the cops and continue on home. I'm still adrenelating, cos I don't have any goddamn smokes to calm down with... What a blow out.
