A man was robbed on my street today
By complete strangers in the middle of the afternoon. I live on a quiet street in a good neighborhood. What the hell is the world coming to?

The scary thing, if the robbers had come by five minutes later, they'd probably have robbed me instead, I was putting my shoes on to go out the door when I heard thier car squeal away, and a small woman is a much more attractive target than a fully grown man.

2. Why would I need to take care of him?
Other than in a loving, supportive way. I doubt these people are going to drive five days away in search of thier next victim, and anyhow I'm sure they could find somebody a little more (warning: I'm making up a word) victim-y. :D

Not much you can do, but keep your eyes open, and not look like a victim...

Which I know you already do......:hug:
