Please don't interfere with the rocking back and forth and chanting "this doesn't happen downtown" that pathological folks on this website need to do...

I agree that they probably did work for this guy or knew from someone who did have access to his home. Either way, the guy had a terrible day. The whole hostage thing was stupid of these two. Kidnapping? That carries an ordinary sentence of 15-30 years for a first time offense. If the guy that they kidnapped doesn't I.D. these two, I would suspect he's an accomplice.

Uh ho you said fishy you're assuming again, was it fried or broiled ? Sometimes you have to rule out all the variables and do a little profiling like an insurance company. I agree with you Seagll I wouldn't want to see T-Bird on a jury.

It sounds like these two guys returning home flunked thuggery 101! Aren't you always supposed to "watch your back", "keep one eye open", all that thug advice? The two that actually did the robbing are just as stupid. Stealing a phone and a laptop in this day and age? Don't most phones and laptops have the ability to be located using GPS? Idiots.

I feel better now knowing that it is a thug on thug incident and not a thug on innocent.

Thugs or not, that is a bit disturbing.

Obviously, if you keep large amounts of cash in your home, you PROBABLY shouldn't let other people know you do.

(This is in the Saturday print version JJ. I will give main details until it is on the net, I feel it is important to get the word out fast).



Forced to open safe by brutal thugs: pal taken hostage

By Michaelangelo Conte
Journal Staff Writer

A Downtown Jersey City man was bound with duct tape in his home and pistol whipped before being robbed of nearly $15,000 Thursday by gunmen who took the victim?s friend as a hostage, officials said yesterday.

The 28-year-old victim told police when he and his friend arrived at his Morris Street residence at 4:25 p.m. , two armed men pushed in behind them and started hitting him in the head with guns, reports said. The victim said he was told to ?Shut the (blank) up and give up the money?, while being bound with duct tape, reports said.

The robbers got the man?s safe, put it in front of him and demanded the combination while continuing to strike him, reports said. The victim complied and the robbers took $15,000 from the safe, reports said. Adding that they also took a cell phone and computer.


*********
The gunmen left with the hostage , the victim worked himself free, the hostage has been located.

Maybe the full piece will be on the net later, or go and buy today?s print JJ.

***
you must buy the JJ how can you survive without it?
