Once November hits, you can be sure that criminals will be out in full force, ready to' rob, steal and take advantage of innocent victims.
A recent situation occurred in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, though, that proves that truth is always much stranger than fiction and that even some bad guys have good moments.
Four men decided to mug a 21-year-old guy who was returning home from his job in the wee hours of the early morning. Obviously, they saw him as a pretty easy mark and held him at gunpoint, after taking him into a dark alley. Their intentions were clearly evil and they callously filched his cell phone,wallet and other things. It would seem that this event would end up being a rather routine one, don't you think?
Except that it wasn't.
In the course of going through their stash, the muggers discovered, after looking at the man's identification in his wallet, that he was an Army reservist. Well, quicker than you can sing "The Star Spangled Banner", they made a bizarre about face.
The leader of this gang of robbers ordered his fellow crooks to give the stuff they took back and immediately thanked the perplexed young gent for his military service, apologized and even gave the fella an enthusiastic fist bump before disappearing.
Before you get too warm and fuzzy thinking about this "heartwarming" story, it wasn't exactly a perfect ending.
The muggers neglected to return his keys.
