First off this is not a joke and is as serious as a heart attack.

aprox 8:00 last night

My Middle (have two older brothers) Brother was at A restraunt at WoodForest and Normandy with his wife and was robbed at Gunpoint in the parking lot. thankfully nothing happend to him or his wife but as he was walking to his truck a small framed white male pulled a .357 mag on him and took his truck. The person is still at large and the police have found the vehicle and have impounded it to finger print the truck. This has happened several times in the Past month WITH THE SAME robber on the south side of Houston. The police are in the process of tracking because they think he has a chop shop in the local area.

Please be advised to keep a watchful eye when walking towards your car or keep a close eye on your car in General.

I am not posting this to scare anyone but just a keep a close eye because i care about you guys.

thanks

Justin

I think he is saying the same person is doing the hold ups for the past month, not the same person getting robbed

yeah i was thankful he didn't try to be a Hero about it and do somthing.

he was more concerned about his family than anything

i am sure a bunch of stuff ran through his head of what he wanted to do, but when your family is there its a different story. when i found out I said a lil prayer and gave a wink up stairs to say thanks.


thanks guys!
