No such place is written in the article, just the city and the state. Question. Where exactly did they do the trade? Is it just in the street?
it must have been in a park or somewhere with little number of people around. or at least this is how these robberies usually go down.
these things always happen, the last big news I read was about a guy getting robbed in NewYork because they lured him to their car where they pulled a gun at him!! I mean why did you go in the dark alley to their car in the first place
Whatever trade we does personally we should do it in a populated place. A park, a mall or other places with a lot people and policemen are easy to access. I do personal trades way back I was playing online games and it all goes well because they cant harm me with people looking at us.
the best place to do the trade, especially in the US is the police station.
you can not think of a safer place with all those cops around you and they don't mind if you ask them you want to do a trade safely in their station.
