Fort Totten Metro: Kid jumped out of a car with a gun this afternoon to take my phone

[Anonymous]

Happened abut 2:45 this afternoon, right across from the metro, just down the street from the 7/11.

I ran and he pushed me saying "just give me your phone" and I got up and kept running and he jumped back into the passenger seat of the car. That's my route walking home, so I took the long way to not have to head back that direction just in case. No way the kid was older than HS age.

I think I'm going to keep taking my chances and not hand over a phone or wallet if this ever happens again.

Wow. You took some risks there. I'm glad you're OK. Please make a police report.

You're an idiot OP. Just because this one didn't shoot you doesn't mean the next one won't.

What a stupid conclusion you came to.

File a police report OP.

Really?

I thought about walking back to the metro and seeing if any cops were around (they are often standing right in front of the apt. building by the 7/11, but not today).

What would I tell them? A skinny kid wearing a mask jumped out of a white car, but that's all I remember.

The stat collection matters.

That sounds terrifying, OP.

I sometimes wish a Batman figure would come save us because it’s clear the police aren’t going to do anything.

Maybe there is a reason for that......

was there any cctv or security cameras around there? If you file a police report, they can get the security recording, and ID the car.

Why so eager to protect your phone and wallet, OP? Sorry that happened, but you sound like a fool. I hope what they say about god protecting fools and drunks is true.

And they knew you had a phone because...?

Because everybody has one? Especially when you come dressed up from the metro

Wait, it was my understanding that crime is vastly overrated and doesn’t actually happen
