Title: Cashless Payment Muggers
Post by: Ben on April 13, 2017, 09:31:58 AM

This seems like a difficult way to make an illegal living. While passive electronic theft, like ATM scanners seems to work too well, the "in person" method seems a little clunky. When I read the story, I couldn't help but think of the robbers on Home Alone.

It should be easy to catch the criminals if the cops care to try.

I'm a lazy millenial.  Can I just text some money to the mugger now so I don't have to get up?

It's the new economy they're going to change their name to Muggr.

Why not just use Mgr?  Is the confusion with Manager really important?   =D
