My husband about got robbed...

Tim was leaving work last night (fri) when he was approached and surrounded by 3 bums on a street corner.  They tried to distract him and started talking a lot to him and then he felt one of them take his wallet out of his back pocket.  He turned around to confront the guy and they just started pulling everything out looking for cash (he didn't have any).  When he told them he didn't have any cash they started pushing him around and saying"well you have a bank account".  He was started to get a little freaked out (btw-people were walking by on the street) when they cops just happened to drive by.  When they got the 3 guys they found drugs on all of them and they were all intoxicated.  The cops said they are not REALLY bums, they are 3 guys posing as bums and they are moving state to state and robbing people.  They have been arrested on multiple occasions, but with jail overcrowding, they are usually released.  They told Tim he was lucky because they have stolen from a lot of people.  So, he was a little shaken up when he got home because he just kept thinking "what if" they had a weapon and the police didn't come by.  Seems to be soo much crime lately, makes me want to look into getting a home security system.
