Just received this AD that was supposed to be printed in some US newspaper.
The sender says it was real......if it is.....WOW !!!!!!

AN ACTUAL CRAIG'S LIST PERSONALS AD

To the Guy Who Tried to Mug Me in Downtown Savannah night before last.

Date: 2009-05-27, 1 :43 a.m. E.S.T.

I was the guy wearing the black Burberry jacket that you demanded that I hand over, shortly after you pulled the knife on me and my girlfriend, threatening our lives. You also asked for my girlfriend's purse and earrings. I can only hope that you somehow come across this rather important message.

First, I'd like to apologize for your embarrassment; I didn't expect you to actually crap in your pants when I drew my pistol after you took my jacket.. The even ing was not that cold, and I was wearing the jacket for a reason.. My girlfriend had just bought me that Kimber Model 1911 ..45 ACP pistol for my birthday, and we had picked up a shoulder holster for it that very evening. Obviously you agree that it is a very intimidating weapon when pointed at your head . isn't it?!

I know it probably wasn't fun walking back to wherever you'd come from with that brown sludge in your pants. I'm sure it was even worse walking bare-footed since I made you leave your shoes, cell phone, and wallet with me. [That prevented you from calling or running to your buddies to come help mug us again].

After I called your mother or "Momma" as you had her listed in your cell, I explained the entire episode of what you'd done. Then I went and filled up my gas tank as well as those of four other people in the gas station, -- on your credit card. The guy with the big motor home took 150 gallons and was extremely grateful!

I gave your shoes to a homeless guy outside Vinnie Van Go Go's, along with all the cash in your wallet. [That made his day!]

I then threw your wallet into the big pink "pimp mobile" that was parked at the curb ... after I broke the windshield and side window and keyed the entire driver's side of the car.

Later, I called a bunch of phone sex numbers from your cell phone. Ma Bell just now shut down the line, although I only used the phone for a little over a day now, so what 's going on with that? Earlier, I managed to get in two threatening phone calls to the DA's office and one to the FBI, while mentioning President Obama as my possible target.

The FBI guy seemed really intense and we had a nice long chat (I guess while he traced your number etc.).

;In a way, perhaps I should apologize for not killing you .... but I feel this type of retribution is a far more appropriate punishment for your threatened crime. I wish you well as you try to sort through some of these rather immediate pressing issues, and can only hope that you have the opportunity to reflect upon, and perhaps reconsider, the career path you've chosen to pursue in life. Remember, next time you might not be so lucky.Have a good day!

Thoughtfully yours,

Alex

I doubt it is true since the original "victim" wold have been arrested for actually stealing the mugger's wallet, phone, clothing, etc....

Snopes left it as "undetermined"
http://www.snopes.com/crime/justice/mugger.asp
I think it's bogus since even Snopes has various versions of the same email. The one you posted was different from the one I'd seen. If it was true I think it would have been cut and pasted verbatim rather than modified (i.e. the version you posted made an Obama reference, but I originally saw this story long before he was ever on the scene)

It's a feel-good story for sure and it may have been based on an actual incident at one point in time but now I think it's taken on a life of its own and become a parody of itself.

Real or not, it is STILL funny as all get out! I got that email too and laughed my butt off everytime I read it.

My husband and I belong to the SCA-Society for Creative Anachronisms, we do medieval re-enacting. Many years ago there was a story along the same lines except the mugger pulled a switchblade and the "muggee" pulled a sword as he happened to be on his way back from an event. The line that has been passed down thru history:"I see your six (the switchblade) and raise you 30 (the sword)." The muggee then demanded the guy's wallet, shoes, and jacket (I think) and flagged down the first cop he passed to give him the info on the mugger....and that one IS true!

Sort of like the movie "Crocodile Dundee" when he is approached by that mugger with a switchblade, Crocodile says "That's not a knife, this is !!!" and pulls out an 8" bowie......heee heee.
