Good point! I'd like to know what kind of sandwich the victim was eating so I can avoid it in the future.

While we're just making shit up, maybe the victim was a cat and they distracted him with chin scratches. Perhaps victims are diabetic and he was testing his blood sugar and didn't see them coming. Maybe they wear sunglasses at night. Maybe they're busy eating sandwiches.

I would like to know the type of victims that are approached. Are they new to the area/country, the timid type. Perhaps they are female, elderly. Maybe the victim was drunk or knew the mugger and had it out with him.

I wonder if these are the same two guys...
