He just called me from his cell phone. He was downtown (Vancouver) and cut through an alley in the middle of the bright shiny morning. A girl appeared, asking for change. As soon as he put his hand in his pocket, a guy jumped out from behind a dumpster and punted him in the nuts!
So now my guy is wandering around downtown with bloody knuckles, hoping they don't come back with buddies, because the guy lost a few teeth and was limping pretty bad when he and his girl left the scene. The asshole even had a punchline! Right before he kicked, he said "Guess it's not your lucky day!"
I guess even Vancouver's alleys aren't safe any more.
