JOSÉ LUIS: CAR ROBBERY

Once, while stopping at a traffic light, an old pick-up truck bumped slightly against the rear of my car. When I got out of the car to see if any damage had been done, one of the pick-up passengers aggressively and nervously pointed a gun at me, took my wallet and wristwatch, and then stole my car away. The other assailant ran away driving the pick-up.
The only thing left for me to do was stare at them as they sped farther away.
José Luis, December 2006, Naucalpan, Estado de México. Stolen car: Jetta 2006.
The testimonies in this website are real for Mexico, but similar to the facts reported in many other countries. However, for confidentiality and safety reasons, the victims’ names, their pictures, and the places have been changed.
