Oh that is a very scary visual you just gave me!

---

I just got off the phone with my mom, she told me one of my nephews was held up at knife point at the Sprint Store he works at today. The robber took the Sprint Store cash and went next door to rob the "check cashing" store and my nephew called police and the police arrived right as the perp was leaving the check cashing store and walking back in front of the Sprint store where my nephew was on the phone still with police dispatch. The robber was high on crack and I am so glad my nephew had the sense to just hand the money over to the perp. The cops were there in 3 minutes from the time my nephew called it in.

Cops did catch the perp and the 19 year old female who worked at the check cashing store was pretty upset. My nephew who is in his early 20's was shook up also.

(all this happened out of state where my sister lives)

I just glad everything turned out ok, that my nephew is fine and that they caught the perp.

Thank God your nephew was not hurt.

OMG brigette! Thank heavens your nephew is alright. What a smart move on his part to have called the police right away. I can't imagine how scared I would be. And his mom is probably still shaking.

I just checked in for a minute to see if any real news about Natalee and read your post first. I am exhausted from a day of "mulching" and have not been on here all day.

After reading about your nephew I am not going to bother with anything else for tonight. Being held at knife point by a "crack head" had to be fo frightening. Those kind have no control over their actions, he is soooo lucky. Blessings to him!

Glad your nephew is safe and was able to think clearly under pressure!
