At my local police station they have an area in the parking lot to meet with cameras so you can make your Facebook marketplace purchase there.

I sell on the Offerup app and ALWAYS meet in a public place with lots of folks around......and never unarmed.

Got robbed mid-Feb of 06 on the South Side, INSIDE the fenced off property of a fresh vegetable wholesaler. I just got there from the west coast, backed up to the dock, and was standing outside truck cab when I heard a voice behind me...

I turned around to see a guy with his hand in his coat pocket, but couldn’t tell if he was holding a gun. He wanted money. All I had on me was a $20. My wallet was in the cab.

As he took the $20 I opened the cab door, leaped in and locked it. My only weapon was a hatchet beside the seat. Fortunately he left.

Well, that’s not a red flag, no siree.

When he was told that two of the victims had identified him as one of the robbers, Savage allegedly asked how they could identify him since the robber was wearing a mask, the report said.
Asked how he knew the robber wore a mask, Savage allegedly replied that his mother had told him.

Another dumb crook.

Showing up to do a transaction at a private residence in the South Side of Chicago. What could possibly go wrong?

I have done a few of these through my wife's FBM account (I want nothing to with Facebook) without issue, but then again, I was doing these small furniture transactions in mainly rural or suburban areas in Middle Tennessee the last time I was there. I wonder if the demographic makeup and overall culture (opposite of inner city chicago) has anything to do with my lack of difficulty with these transactions? No fear at all, even though I am sure the sellers were all armed.

I understand things could go pear-shaped anywhere, but I never got that "feeling" when transacting with the country folk in TN that would make me abort upon pulling up to the property. Naive on my part? Maybe.

67th and Indiana is the deepest part of the Hood - anyone in their right mind would take multiple weapons and an armored car to that address.
