What's a 'fake wallet'? You mean he was too tight to buy a proper wallet?

Bad Panda · 16-07-2012 03:16PM

We're assuming the gunman is..well...a man!

What if it was a woman? Chat her up then deck her when her guard is down?

I'd take a chance and refuse. Really .... do you think someone who robs petrol stations would shoot someone point blank range in the head for not handing over their wallet ??

I also think the fact that I have some scumbag trying to steal my winning lotto ticket would just be so enraging that you'd at least try to get out of it.

A decoy wallet with old library cards in it and maybe just a fiver in it

Does it matter, once you head butt him / her successfully without having to kiss?

Plus he'd have to be taking estrogen supplements and be dressed as a woman to be that confusing. But then again maybe it's all part of his disguise to throw the cops off.

Open the wallet, take out the cash and hand that over, keep the wallet and remaining contents.
It'd probably be an acceptable compromise.

smash · 16-07-2012 03:24PM

Sure once they collect the winnings they'd be caught anyway.

Jesus Shaves · 16-07-2012 03:26PM

i'd say you can have the wallet if i can take my pictures of my kids out of it, take the pictures and lotto ticket out and hand him the wallet, in this scenario i have already shít myself by the way.

if it was a women.. she probably wouldn't know how to knock the safety off

Omeceron · 16-07-2012 03:29PM

I wouldn't worry, it's just the wallet inspector. He'll give it back once everything is in order.

That gave me a giggle

Pj! · 16-07-2012 03:32PM

I'd open my wallet and hand him every bank note that was in it, plus the cards. Hopefully that would keep him happy.

When he was in university.... I used to carry around a fake walled.... in case HE got robbed?

Not sure when he was in university but I have always carried around a fake wallet. Long before the Office I think. But in case I got robbed. Not him. I don't even know the guy.

Angeles · 16-07-2012 03:33PM

Take out the wallet
Open it
Hand him all remaining cash in wallet.
Advise him that i have money in bank account and am willing to remove and give to him.
Go to atm
Take out remaining cash
Watch him run off happily
Quote line - Not a single F**k given.
Stroll into lotto money giving place with smirk.

15 euro notes? did he make them himself?

Stiffler2 · 16-07-2012 03:38PM

Ha - I would turn my wallet upsidedown emptying everything onto the floor.

My pinky would be slyly holding back the ticket though.

Then I'd say, take it bitch

once he bends down to pick up my pennys a swift knee to his upper teeth should sort out that problem.

then I would bend down & steal all his ****, even his clothes, I would go out to the forecourt and also steal his getaway vehicle

muhahahahah

Depends where I am, If I'm in Clonakilty I'd tell him to fcuk off, On the other hand If I where in south central L.A I'd piss myself, tell him I had a wife and kids and hand it over.

I'm sure that there must be some process of collecting a Lotto jackpot even tho you've lost a ticket

You have to confirm the time approx that you bought the ticket.
You have to confirm which shop and (if you can remember) a description of actual seller.

Get the shop wrong - your done.
Get the seller description wrong and/or the time their shift was, your done.
Get the approx time wrong, your done.

Additionally, some shops have security cameras so its possible in this digital age that there is a back-up of you purchasing the ticket.
...Even if thats not the case other street or shop cameras might show you in the locality that you claim you were around, at the time of purchase.

...Plus while the shop seller won't remember your particular numbers, they might also remember that you were in that day too.

If you use the same numbers repeatedly, there will be a traceable show of that too (short version).

I'd probably put my army Ranger training to use. Run in a zig zag line while doing the odd duck and roll.

3ndahalfof6 · 16-07-2012 03:46PM

I would ask him if he really wanted to be known as the guy who robbed mother Theresa son,

or just tickle him.

fasttalkerchat · 16-07-2012 03:46PM

The odds of him shooting and killing you are very low actually but still I would hand over the wallet and try to get the money later. If I was feeling brave maybe drop the wallet hoping the ticket would fall out and he wouldn't bother picking the ticket up.

Note: 2 million euro can't be collected at the garage so I wouldn't be there in the first place.

16-07-2012 03:48PM

I have one of these in my wallet.

Gunman's not getting it.

The money? Sure, here dude, have it, lemme just get it in a fumbling not-trying-to-hide-fetching-the-little-knife-way.....

(honestly? he'd get the wallet & I'd throw the swisscard away in full view of him)

not yet · 16-07-2012 03:50PM

Or...I'd wink at him whilst saying something like, hello sailor how about me and you get a room.

Now if your very unlucky and he's that way inclinded, then your fcuked ha ha get it fcuked. I'm a funny knut so I am.

are you serious, id never remember that

I'd say, 'I don't know who you are but if you take my wallet. I will look for you. I will find you down and I will kill you.'

Alternatively I would give him the wallet. In any case I never have any money in it, my cards are maxed out and even my social welfare card is usesless as I'm not entitled to the dole. As for the winning lottery ticket I would never keep in my wallet. But if I did you can be sure it was already signed and I would have phoned the National lottery before I ever left the house. He would get nothing.

But in reality most of these small timers couldn't afford a gun. That's why they're robbing. If they stole a gun. They would sell it for good money.

I was caught up in a Post Office robbery once. Heard a scream as a woman, the Post Mistress ran away from the shop. Curious, I walked to the door just in time to see one of the robbers rushing towards the exit. Time stands still and I had time to consider smacking him on the face with my motorcycle helmet as he ran past. Then time to reconsider because I didn't know if his pal behind him had a gun or not. But even a pickaxe handle would have outgunned me.

He read my mind and said 'Don't do it mate' as he passed me. It all took less than twenty or thirty seconds. I'm no Chuck Norris let me tell you.

All very exciting.
