The man was brutally disarmed by his would-be victim.

Well get the bill.

Surely he's covered under the Affordable Healthcare Act

There was a time when this was what a one-armed bandit looked like.

It’s a good idea to disarm crooks.

The peeps on the bus tried to help.

What makes the story a bit unbelievable. But then, Canarsi. Brooklyn. Being a native of which.

My initial reaction as well. Survival instincts run strong in that one.

Wonder if he has any future as a one-armed paperhanger.

I have sold a dozen items through Craig’s List. Including my $5500 price used Van. Just yesterday, a buyer picked up an inversion machine from me.

My tips for safety:

(1) Never agree to meet in the street. Place to exchange must be at a bank or a large restaurant.

(2) Never publish your phone number in the Craiglist Ad.
Ask the prospective buyers to email you their PHONE NUMBER and name. Then you call them back to arrange meeting place and price. Police can trace phone numbers.

(3) Never accept any type of check. Cash only! Even my van buyer and I met in his bank, he cashed out $5500 and I deposited the money in the same bank.

Play it safe!

The pair met through Craigslist, where they had arranged to exchange a pair of Air Jordan sneakers near East 86th Street and Avenue M in Canarsie.

...

Air Jordans and Craigslist just scream armed robbery.

The 39-year-old driver will likely be arrested, according to police sources.

No good deed goes unpunished.
