Crazy Story along with a Craigslist Advisory

[The Captain]

So I'm driving home from work today and get a phone call from my brother. The first things out of his mouth are "You won't believe what happened today." I admit that I probably won't and he begins telling me a story.

One of his friends and a highschool classmate of mine decided to sell his dirtbike on craigslist. He finds a buyer in Camden and they decide to meet up at a Giant Foodstore to do the exchange. Being that this guy is a little smaller, he brought along 3 friends, two of whom are jacked and down right scary. (the one dudes name is spike...enough said)

So they meet this guy and start talking. The guy mentions that he lives right down the road so they all decide to meet there to finish the transaction. They pull into an alley off of the road and all get out to talk some more. Mind you, the buyer is only himself and one other guy.

They buyer asks to try the dirt bike out so that he knows it works and my brothers friend says that he doesn't take the bike off the truck until money is in his hands. The guy says his dad has the money and when he gets home, he'll give it to him.

At this point the second guy says he's going to go around the corner to the store while they wait for the guy's dad. The guy leaves and then about 2 minutes later comes running down the alley with 3 other guys with guns saying that they need to get on the ground.

At this point Spike says he's not going anywhere (stupid move by him) and the lead gun holder pistol whips him in the face, knocking him unconscious. The other guys get on the ground and lay there while the thieves try to unstrap the dirtbike. One of the guys trys to look up at the criminals to get a description of them, and then he too gets kicked in the face, breaking his nose.

The thieves finally get the bike off the truck and one of them take off on it. Then they take my brother's friends' wallets, cell phones, and keys and try to steal the truck, but the truck was stick so they just ditched it and left.

Spike has a huge gash in his face and like i said, the other friend has a broken nose.

Moral of the story: ALWAYS meet in bright lit, populated places. These guys thought they were being smart by bringing multiple people, but it didn't help them.
