And... more bad news...

This morning I had asked one of the chavalos to find me somebody to repair an old DVD player that had given up on me.
He went looking, but got further and further away trying to find somebody suited.
Before he went, he had asked me for several plastic bags so nobody could see what he was carrying. 
He was in the wrong place at the wrong time, and three big guys tried to rob the player from the kid.
When he refused to hand over the useless player, one of them swung a knife at him.
Then two held him while the third went through his pockets.
They found a small amount of money from chewing gum that the boy had been selling and took it out of his shoe.
Then they ran off with the worthless DVD player, leaving the bloody boy behind.
I'm sorry it happened, but I'm glad that the police did the effort to find the culprits.
They had already ditched the player and spent the money, but hey. they were where they belonged... in jail.
