Fuck my life! Just got robbed. I met this kid at a tire place on Friday, he was sick so I gave him my last stamp, the next day he drops of two for me, a little more $ than I usually pay but it was like double the count and good. So today he asks if I can get stuff, then he messages me he can and its a bundle minimum and I know we can't discuss price but let's just say it was exactly in between xxx pesos. Expensive, I know but I was fiending and since I usually pay 2/3 of that for stuff thats not as good and less count it was worth it at the time. I get in the car go to the bank to get money, then the other kid he's with "guy" calls him says he doesn't want anyone to come. Obviously the kid has to drive, they say ok give us the money and we'll drop it off later. I'm not that stupid so I said no, lets just do it another day. The kid offered me his wallet with his license and credit cards in it, and in retrospect I should have just took that and waited at my house. Then he said you can come but you gotta wait around the block. On the way there I mention that I can hook the kid up next time for driving me (I figured he was pocketing at least xxanyway). They drop me off at this gas station and it was supposed to be 5-10 mins max. I kept texting/calling him with no response, obviously I had been fucked over. I threatened to call the cops on him and he calls me back and says he took it because I didn't offer him anything for driving me (it was on the way and I gave him a free stamp two days before) I sit at the gas station and wait for a ride from a friend then I'm like hey what the hell I'll call the cops anyway what's the worst that could happen. I call them and tell them someone robbed me at knife point for $(....) for stereo equipment. The cops come like twenty mins later. They obviously didn't believe it was for a car stereo because I'm young, 21 and I probably look like a drug user (was on an 80 at the time but OP so nahh...) I got the kids plate when he was driving away just in case and they say it on the camera at the gas station. They put me in the back of the truck and told me that if I'm lying and they find out I would be arrested (I doubt this was the case because how could they prove it wasn't for stereo equipment and for drugs) They said if it was for drugs I would not get in trouble, but they have to know the truth. I was arrested last summer for a non drug related theft incident which left me with three felonies which got dropped to an A misdemeanor and I am in treatment court to get the misdemeanor dropped. I used to smoke a lot of pot but now I find myself shooting up heroin because it's the only thing that I really like that I can get away with doing (justice system really works right?) If I could just smoke weed I would probably bug out and feel real guilty about shooting up, lol. Anyway, I just tell them I was buying weed because I just wanted to go home at this point. They asked me if I wanted to press charges and that the kid would be arrested for armed robbery and it's a felony. I decided not to press charges because the kid(who I keep calling a kid who in reality is 23) knows where I live and came to my house twice, once on Friday and once today. I was worried about my mom and my sister and my automobiles. I live in a safe neighborhood but still, for $.... it wasn't worth having to look over my shoulder. But I text the kid that I called the cops and I have 48 hours to make a report and press charges. He calls me back and starts yelling at me saying I made a false report and shit and leave him alone. Then later he has the balls to call me a scumbag, and AND an addict. The kid said he has been shooting up for three years. I have only daily for the last month. If he didn't know where I lived I definitely would have pressed charges because they said I would have got my money back. Also, they said it wouldn't affect my "probation" even thought it was a "drug deal gone bad." I know I am gonna get shit for calling the cops but I was fucked up and I thought it was the right move. I paced around the gas station thinking about it for more than a half an hour.
I have the kids plate number, when shit dies down what should I do? I know you can't look up plate numbers online because they made it illegal. Also, my family has a few cop friends and I was told for other situations that there has to be a legitimate reason to look up a plate number and they keep track of who does. All I really want is my money back, and I know that's probably not gonna happen, short of robbing him myself with a weapon (and with my luck I'll get arrested for that lol)
Any ideas what I can do fellas/felletes?
