Lame request for some good lounge vibes
Hey folks...hows everyone doing out there?

I have a request for some good lounge mojo, its kinda stupid, but its been upsetting to me...

Last Saturday night I was robbed at gunpoint. The thief wanted my wallet, but i got him to only take my money. He also took my cell phone though, and thats where the vibes come in. He didn't keep my cell phone cause some one with a thick accent and broken English found it (the guy who robbed me didn't have an accent). I spoke with this guy on Sunday and gave him my address. He promised he'd mail it on Monday. Its Saturday and I still haven't gotten it. Sometimes the USPS takes a while, even in NYC. So please, if you can spare some vibes, send some my way that my phone will arrive on Monday. sigh.

thanks in advance :hug:

6. I'm a cynic: Have you checked your Cell phone account yet?
You gave your address to a stranger, and that could open you up to identity theft. Please check all your accounts, especially your cell phone activity.

Don't wait for Monday.

9. I've been checking...no calls made
We also used my roommates name for who to send it too, so he doesn't know mine. thanks for the advice though

13. You want me to come up there and beat some ass?
You know I'd do it for you. :)

Glad you're okay. Did you offer the guy who found your phone a reward? Because that's probably the only way you'll get it back. Otherwise you're probably going to have to see if your phone company will cough up a new one for you or if you can get something decent on ebay.

17. I wish I could tell you whose ass to kick!
I tried to offer the guy money to meet him that day or the next, but all he would say was "Address, Address, I mail you, Address." I hope he got the address right though!

Its less about the phone and just the loss of all my numbers and the being violated feeling.

:loveya:

14. You've got a lot of guts!
You negotiated with the guy to keep your wallet? Very brave indeed!

Hope you get the cell phone back!

23. Your request is not lame
That's a truly frightening thing to have happen, but the important thing is that you are safe. I have a friend who was robbed at knife-point last summer while he was taking cash out of an ATM. They forced him to take out his daily maximum ($1,000.00) and got his celfone as well. He was very shaken for many days after.

One question though.......Did you cancel the celfone service?

Anyway, take care. And here are my vibes to you:
