Yesterday at about 2:40pm, a University of Washington student was the victim of a strong armed robbery at a bus stop on the 4600 block of 25th Ave NE in the U-Village area. Details come from the UW Police Department:


Four suspects were involved in this incident, two males and two females. One suspect, a female wearing a black puffy jacket, blue jeans, and red shoes, took the victim's cell phone. After taking the cell phone, the female suspects left on foot, and the two male accomplices boarded a bus. The male suspects were later located on the bus and arrested by Seattle Police.

The two female suspects are still at large. No one was injured.

Didn't they see the Zipcar getaway car ads on the bus?

Why would they stay on that bus for more than one stop? Why would they even get on a bus? Why didn't they all just part ways? Why didn't they punch him until he was out? "Got'cha cell phooone!" Cool. He can still cry out for help, or easily find someone else to call the fuzz.

These people suck at robbery.

The first rule about bus club is get off in two stops and walk up to the next major arterial.

Zipcar only works if you rob someone who has Zipcar.
