Walked in on a store robbery tonight

Hey, you had the gumption to stay and call the cops. A lot of people would have just walked away from the whole situation. Speaks to your character.

Like Sojourner said, good for you for sticking around and doing the responsible thing.

It's got to really mess with you to have someone threaten your life like that.

Yup, it does. I've been there. But even witnessing something like that, as you did, can be traumatic.
 
My statement to the cops was pretty useless. I saw the guy briefly as he spirited past me, so all I could offer was the direction the guy fled in when the cops arrived 20 + minutes later, so the guy was long gone.

Where do you live that it takes the cops 20+ minutes to respond to an armed robbery? :wtf: Kudos to you for sticking around to talk to them.

I was the victim of an robbery years ago when I worked graveyard shift at an adult video store. A woman waved a dirty needle in my face, the tip actually brushed my cheek. I was definitely shaken up.
 
Firstly, good on you, Jono, for sticking around and contacting the police!

A lot of places, actually. I've heard of the cops showing up two hours later.

Yep. I had to call the police once due to being threatened by a drunk guy with what may have been a knife, when working in a convenience store, and it took the police 45 minutes to arrive, so it's not uncommon I don't think.
