We had a mugging inside the parking garage stairwell at my company a few weeks ago in the middle of the day. Details have been slow to leak out but apparently the perp intimated that he had a weapon, but never showed one. Several of us generally do, so it's lucky for the perp that he chose someone a little more compliant.
A stairwell can work two ways for a robbery. On one hand, if the victim complies it's a pretty secluded place to get away with some shit. On the other hand, if your victim turns the tables on you, there's no place for you to run and an epic ass-beating can ensue. I'll drag your ass back inside the stairwell and keep beating the ever loving shit out of you if you try to run after threatening to mug me and fail to produce a weapon. :lol:
