I gave a description to the police and they went looking right away. While in the emergency room, a detective arrived and said they stopped a few people already, but no one had a knife or blood on them. Two days later I did a report of the incident and they also took photos of me and my injuries. I also looked at over 500 photos of suspects that fit the description. 6 or 8 could have been the one. I just couldn't be positive. The detective told me the street has a funny way of ratting people out. They will pick someone up for another crime and question them about the robbery. He said they will drop names to plead to a reduced charge. They just rat each outher out. I guess they just can't wait to brag about their crimes to each other.

A car boot is the trunk. The hood is a bonnet.

I think Jon meant Triad, which are Chinese criminal gangs, but maybe he meant Tirade, which is what has been going on in the Radon thread

When I worked in KC, I carried a pistol in my toolbox even tho it was illegal at that time. There was one apt complex so dangerous, that the Post Office refused mail delivery. The ambulance crews refused to enter without police escort. In fact they sent 2 police cars, 2 officers went in with the EMTs and 2 guarded the ambulance. And the retailer I worked for, tried to get us to install there. Since it was subsidized housing the Feds finally bulldozed it.

I wish you guys would learn English. We have metal roads here, panel beaters and other things like that. Ask Darol he came down here awhile ago and picked up on lots of things like those

I have a hard enough time trying to translate spanish from time to time. If a couple of guys started talking about car boots and Tirads, I would probably give up.
