Old women and men are easy targets for the up-and-coming criminal; as are cripples and young children. So to save you the bother of learning how to become a good mugger, I wrote this guide.
Firstly, a little background information. We target this section of society for various reasons:
1 - They are unstable on their feet.
2 - They cannot run as fast as us.
3 - They often carry nice, chunky pensions on them.
4 - They are silly, and old.
That's about it, basically. So now, onto some methods I find useful.
Method 1 - use a 2x4 across the back of the head.
This is very effective, as it renders the victim unconscious, allowing you not only to get away with their possessions, but also to take the time to discard any crap they are carrying around with them. Which is probably the majority of the contents of their purse or wallet, as they are old and stupid. Also, using this method means you don't have to listen to their whining as you run away, because they're too unconscious to voice their anger.
Method 2 - convincing them that the money is rightfully yours.
Ahh yes, this trick works so well. The basic concept of this is to wait until you see an old person/cripple/child or similarly weak member of society taking money out; be it from the cash machine, their purse or pocket. Now just walk up to them and say "Thanks, I knew I left my money around here somewhere". Then just walk off. If the person becomes suspicious, just resort to Method 1.
Method 3 - gain access to their property.
Bluff your way in if they have not left a window or door lying open. Then raid through their stuff. As they are too forgetful, stupid and smelly to remember their pin number or other credit card details, you should eventually find a note or piece of paper with such details written on it. Make a copy of this information and rake around for their card. Now just go and remove all the money from their account.
Method 4 - remove the cash from their hand or pocket.
This is one of the easiest methods. Just approach them and remove the cash from their hand, or take it out of their pocket. If they ask what you are doing, just tell them to get fucked.
Method 5 - the lazy approach.
If you can't be arsed with the effort involved in the above methods, pay the local hardman a small fee to do it for you. Send the heavies to the doors of local invalids and elderly residents. Sit back and laugh as the cash rolls in.
