Your week can't be worse than mine so far. Was the owner of an iPod for 3 hours before some scumbag hit me over the head, kicked me a few times and made off with it (bit of a scrimmage as I fought back pretty vigorously). Worst is that I picked myself off the floor and chased after the pikey bastard, but lost him after a mile or so. Oh, and the fact that despite him obviously being a violent mugger and me obviously being a victim and yelling "stop him" as I chased him, NOT ONE PERSON EVEN ATTEMPTED TO HELP.
At least when I was struggling with him I managed to land a couple of decent punches before he broke free and legged it. Hope I broke the b*stard's jaw.
Now have to break it to my cousin that I have already lost her housewarming present to me.
I hate people. The general public are utter, utter peasant filth. And I have a headache and look like I've been hit by a truck.
Police were completely brilliant, mind. Really, really good, and at my home in less than 5 minutes after I phoned.
Housemate and I are planning vigilante justice. I'm going to walk around with an empty iPod box on display, and Jack will be nearby, armed with a monkey wrench in his hand, and with black murder in his heart.

Harry, if you killed him you would undoubtedly be doing the whole of society a favour, but the law would be against you.
If you just mame him, he will sue you and you will have to pay him money.
Best bet is to make him think you are going to kill him...make him afraid, very afraid. Then kneecap the b*stard.

Agreed. Hurting = You in the Shizer.
White transit, 4 big balaclava clad geezers, gun to head (toy of course!!) all holding metal baseball bats, hang over remote railway bridge till he pisses himself begging for his life, then dump naked by side of motorway at 30 mph at 3am.
Should do the trick
Oh and nick his iPod
Hope you're ok mate.

Worse, much much worse eesh sorry to hear that mate.
For those of you remember the bullying that went on on a public bus, I too have been disgusted with the dismisive attitude of the general public.
Even little ol' me couldn't stand by and not help someone who needed it. Obviously I wouldn't jump in if knives/large gangs were involved, but simple things like calling the police can help. I'd hope someone would do the same for me if I ever needed it.

Wouldn't you love to get your hands on scum like that? I hope you have broken his jaw!
What you could do is walk around with a "pretend Ipod" (in a plastic big). Reason being, you should coat the article in cyanide. Anyone nicking it will soon have their hands covered in the stuff - then, you identify him up at the hospital.

I had a few pizza boxes in my arms, was walking over to my car some months back (girlfriend inside the car) and 10 feet away 2 very drunk youths were laying into a another bloke. The other bloke was doing nothing, just taking the blows, trying to back out.
Girlfriends shouting 'just get in, lets go etc' what with the pizzas an all
TBH I had no wish to have my car scratched either, the bib station was 50 metres up the road, you could see people with mobiles making calls (to the bib presumably) so I just left them to it.
Ive been busted in the chops a few times trying to break up fights, to no avail. Part of me agrees with leaving the world to do its own thing, im very ashamed to say. Perhaps less people help because its hard to think fast with certainty and clarity.
Had half the people who didnt stop him have known with certainty that he was a thief running away with your property, and been given confirmation that the right thing to do is stop the thief, they'd have helped. Society isnt bad, in the ignoring sense. They're just not too good at taking in the commotion, making a decision and acting upon it.
edit - hope you're ok, its not a nice story mate

About £80 to feed his habit?
Feel for you Flashharryman this really, really sucks.
Dismayed but not suprised you didn't get any help from the public. Unless someone happens to be a real hard case (or rugby player) they're unlikely to put themselves in the way of a violent mugger running at full pelt. That's assuming that your cries of "stop! Thief!" actually register on their conciousness in a timely manner. Mostly people don't respond well to these things.
Good for you though that you fought back, we shouldn't make it too easy for the scum to take what's ours.
If you've got contents insurance it should pay for a new iPod.

I've heard a rumour that driving them to a secluded spot and making them dig their own grave usually scares 'em a bit.
