True Crime

Browsing the Washington Post's Google-mash-up crime map
for my neighborhood, this crime catches my eye:
Robbery
IRVING AND MOUNT PLEASANT STREETS
10:50 p.m. June 17
Two males approached a male pedestrian. One showed a handgun and took the pedestrian's cellphone, then made a call and returned it. The robbers fled. Two men, ages 40 and 37, were arrested.


Well, there are fewer pay phones these days...

I really like that they flashed a gun before stealing/returning the phone. Because, y'know, that's SO much more badass than just asking if you can borrow it.
