It was stupid. Caught me off guard, I posted the craigslist ad all over Texas (Austin, San Antonio, Houston) and I was going to see my girlfriend in SA and this guy calls me perfectly when I get back.

They've done it a lot.

He had about 2 people in the car- tinted black tahoe - he changes license plate and uses disposable phones. Don't believe about 9 people passed through me not knowing that I got robbed. :/ I really wanted to catch him or follow him but my girl and a friend was in the car and wouldn't risk there life because of my recklessness.

Continues to explain why my buddy always carries a gun when he goes to sell something to a stranger. These folks will steal anything.

Glad you're ok.

Wow that sucks man. Glad to hear you're okay.

When things like this happen, it makes me glad I've decided to never buy or sell anything on craigslist if it's not day time, in the middle of a crowed place.

I hope they catch that bastard!

You live in Texas and you don't have a gun? Why? I live in CA where they won't let me carry a gun.

Nice car though, glad they didn't try and take that too.

Trust me if they tried to take my car, I would've laid all of them out.

I don't have a gun because I don't think its necessary anyways especially since I'm still in school.

I was raging that night though because everyone at the gas station thought I was on crack when I was on the floor (gunner told me to go the floor), and didn't notice or help at all. Not even my girlfriend or friend that were in the car knew anything happened because there was a big Suburban between us. :/

Damn that's some shitty luck there buddy.
Always sell high end electronics inside a mall in the daytime.
It's much harder for them to pull anything as there are camera's anywhere.

+1 on not following them due to bystanders and a lack of a weapon
Not much you can do in those situations unless you know krav maga or something.

Glad you made it out ok though. If you bought the iPad on your credit card you might have theft insurance within x days.

Next time bring Majofo. Sorry it happened to you Champ. You handled the situation appropriately. I'll buy you a beer next time you're in town.



I have to say though.. robbing a guy for an ipad is gayer than owning an ipad.

I think in a state where guns are so prevalent, this is needed.

The news reporter got it wrong it wasn't after 10 it was before 10. It was like 8:45, but once the cops got there and everything it was about 9:20-30 so they just said 10 I guess. It takes me a hour and half to drive down from Austin only why it was late and I really wanted to sell the iPad

Steve Jobs is known to send out hit squads.. I'd leave it alone, and let it be. Also, only post in Austin CL.. way less chance of getting robbed, yet higher chance of rape.

A co-worker of mine was carrying his side arm when he was selling his iPad at a Wally World parking lot and still got his iPad taken when the perp ran off with it.
