You sorta left out an important detail, which is in the Daily News story:

The suspect was described as black or Hispanic

"What can Brown do for you?"

How else to describe a shit-eating douche bag?

Virgil IS a funny name. That's true. I think it's funny, and now you do too. So we both think it's funny. That's sort of weird. That we both think it's funny.

My name.

Weird.

when it's dark, stay out of any park.

wow, great that this is news in NYC. i experienced a similar thing (less cash, though) in another city and it wasn't any surprise to the police, much less blogworthy. slow newsday or safe NY?

Virgil is such a funny name...bbwwwaaaaahhhhhhhhhh

To buy drugs with #20.

Wow. I'm NOT saying the guy deserved to get mugged, but I'm just wondering who and for what reason someone carries $300 around in his wallet.

wouldn't a wallet containing two thousand in cash be thick enough to choke a horse?

oh, please tell us how he tried to pass himself off as a "regular guy"?

The return of the Saturday Night Special.

Lead is still cheap.

I would of kept that wallet, it's not like he's going to miss 2 grand if he's that rich.

to the rich that's considered pennies, not worth crying over if lost. it's probably not even much of a thought to them.

a mere bag of shells.

Why would he take his wallet out in the lunchroom table? wallets are usually found in the men's room when the wallet falls out of the back pocket while doing business. Guns are found that way, too.

New Yorkers walk around with tons of cash and/or expensive jewelry, electronics, designer purses, etc. Think of all the rich people, children of rich people, trust fund kiddies, etc. We had a guy in my old job that tried to pass himself off as a regular guy until he left his wallet on the lunchroom table. In the effort to return it its owner someone looked inside and saw the guy was carrying over two thousand in cash. The charade was up went he used his trust fund to buy a $2.7 million condo.

as much as I hope for the best, the mugger will get caught when he uses the celly.

on the flip side, the victims did the right thing to hand over the loot. Worse things has happened.

virgil, you can't shame an anonymous person.

It's sunday, you guys; shouldn't you all be in church, spreading this love around to your fellow man face to face? Or are you only this outspoken about cultural issues when you're anonymous?

i love these stories, tells the bad guys where

the money is. $400 is not a bad pay day for those without. sure for you yuppies it's chump change.

bring on the crime.

I hate to see people get mugged, but this is why I never carry cash around.

300 dollars is not that much cash nowadays especially if you go to peter lugers.

I don't blame this man, he has 16 children to feed, and NAIR treatment to purchase for his wife.

awesome! cha ching, cash money.

time to get me that Ipod.
