Robbed of $10,000!

Posted by 4alex on December 8, 2011 at 7:07pm in Mr Bruns 360 Message Board

Talk about bad luck!! a 62 year old man had won 10,000 dollars earlier in teh day at a casino. On his way back to his apartment he was approached by two robbers. One grabbed him by the neck and the other one had a gun and asked him for his money. He ends up giving them his chips he won earleir and in return they gave him a small cut on his forehead. The robbers have still not been caught.

Thoughts? I personally think this is one of the many forms of bad luck! Losing 10,000 right after you win it? That would suck!!

I feel bad for this man. He was having a really good night, then it ended in with him getting robbed.

Wow this would really make me mad. You would feel so good just after winning all that money and then to get it taken away would be awful!

gosh that has to stink. I mean you just won all that money then you get robbed. Whatever at least they didn't murder him or anything

Thats just terrible! Im glad he didnt get hurt anymore than he did. I hope they find those guys and that he gets the money back!

I bet they watched him the whole time so when they realized he won all that money & saw him leave they followed him to steal it all. I feel really bad for that guy!

that would really be crapy to loose 10,000 dollars espacialy right after you won it.

This is more than bad luck. I wouldn't like winning money and then have it taken away from me. At least they didn't kill him even though he gave them the money. It is good that he is still living.

I bet for sure the robbers followed him from the casino back to his apartment and I bet it wasn't the first time they have done it either. They probably scouted this guy out as a successful gambler and they just waited until he was quite a bit of money.

Dang, i guess when you win a lot of money you have to keep it quiete and not attract attention.

I am sure he was followed from the casino. That is a shame..that money would have changed that mans life. I can't imagine winning something like that and then having it taken away from me. I hope they catch those robbers.
