Gotta love the center console
I'm glad your friend has a very good sense of his surroundings Cinci. An ambush doesn't only happen in Iraq. I can only imagine some rookie monger from the burbs getting forced to withdraw all their money from an ATM. Be safe.

[b]Cherry & the 1st Full Moon of 2009[/b]
01-11-09 at 17:06
Ran into Cherry near the Wheel rd and Savanah st Sat nite. Actually another monger was present at the same time. Parked on opposite sides of the street we waited one another out just to see who's vehicle she would approach first.
Being the other monger was literally driving an old Sanford & Son pickup truck; I guess she went with her gut feeling, and came to my ride. Cherry took it upon herself to initiate a LE check as we rolled out.
[b]Cool......wer'e on our way, but a quick look in the rearview is telling me the P/U truck has made a U turn and is on my a$$. Rite on Bama st, rite on 13th st to Mississippi st to the Wheel rd, Sanford is still on my a$$. WTF is this dude up to? "Cherry do you know this dude?" She replies "No"
Make a rite and pull into a liquor store on wheel rd. Give Cherry a .1 and send her in the store for wine. Sanford pulls in the lot and parks about 30 ft from me and sits there; is this ULE?
By now I figure if he is, he had better get out or say/do something, even if it's wrong!
Fck it.....I pop the trunk, walk around to the trunk, lean in like I'm reaching for something. As I'm closing the trunk I rearrange my cell phone in my belt as it was something else and glare at the P/U.[/b]
Cherry gets in the ride as I"m getting in and we take off; my eyes are glued to the rear view. About a quarter mile down Wheel Rd nothing pulled out the lot behind us.
As I take a scenic tour of Se DC, Cherry seems annoyed and asks "Where the hell are we going?" I pull over in a non descript dark side street and tell her to give me some head: "Not for a bottle of wine I"m not.......Hell No!" I give her .1 and ask for a sample, she reluctantly conceded, as being true to the game; knowing there was more in it for her.
I pull out (the ride) head game continues............. on the way to my local.

Macho can get someone killed. Not what this hobby is about...
I can see why you use "...xtreme' in your handle. Since your macho report of pulling a concealled weapon has elicited several responses, including a very stupid brag about PRETENDING to have a weapon. Several points:
1) In the first place: avoid the problem you got yourself into by following the basic rules of mongering. If you did this you would never have gotten into the situation. (Remember the basics? monger's wallet, attend to safe pick up, watch for trailing vehicles, do NOT park where you can be trapped, etc)
2) Think with your big head. Little head is well known for macho bravado. Give it up if your unwise actions get you into seriously dangerous situations. Is this a hobby or an act of war?
3) When mongering, EXPECT to be stopped by LE. They will search your car, or take you in if you refuse. I presume you have a permit to carry a concealed weapon? Otherwise, you are in deeper shit than just mongering.
4) Post precise details of the robbing SW: real name if known, exact descriptions (post her picture!), precise location of pickup, and any other descriptors which will allow your fellow mongers to avoid her, a rip-off artist.
Is a death, either some dudes or (just as likely) yours, worth the escalation to armed conflict? Some might say yes. It seems way out of balance to me. Hey, I was just trying to get a little pleasure out of life, not a shoot out.
Prevention is the best policy. Follow the rules. Packing heat can easily turn around and bite you. I agree with your last quote "Play safe and have fun." Threatening gun play hardly seems to be playing safe...

Giani is right.....somethin to ad though
Giani is right on the money. The only thing i would as is this. There is nothing worth a confrontation and ending up on the news. If i were you, being followed, i would have sent her in the store and simply left. Let that dude have what he wants, there is way to many out there to fight over. I always go for the easy quick way. No sense in ruining your day over somethin dumb bro. good luck all
The big cats were out tonight
I drove around from about 7 pm til 11 pm. It was truly brutal out there. LEO was everywhere. I did the OTR circuit half a dozen times. Nothing to speak of. In LPH there was one strawberry blonde but by the time I turned around she was gone. UPH was dead and Covington was worthless. I saw more cruisers tonight than I ever recall seeing. Must have been at least four or five with cars pulled over in OTR. Be careful out there.
TOO MUCH "LE" or TOO FEW SW's .... WHICH !!!!
It sounds like the POLICE, have too few SW's to go after. So it looks like they are flooding the area. They are trying there BEST to look Worthy of the budgets they are given, to avoid reduction, in both budget and man-power. With the City wanting to make cuts, every department is up for review including the Vice Squad.
The Sheriffs department has made it's cuts, and even it's Vice dept., have had to do more with less. The Craiglist Bust was one for getting the new jail, and to let people know, without them SEX/Prostitution would run rampant. Oh, my Goodness, NEVER let that happen. We just might become like the real Big Cities. Yea, Right!
As for the streets, they are NOT FULL, but they are not MT. It is a very slow process, and you will need to do some cruising, some serious looking, and to have a little Luck while you are at it.
I had to turn down three just a few days ago, but that was me making certain they know I am in charge. It is my MONEY they want, more than I want them. So give me what I want, and stop the Bullshit.
Here is what I am saying. I was cruising a part of McM. And saw a Black young girl at a bus stop. Most times they will tell you "NO", but this girl said "YES". I picked her up giving her a ride to her destination. She told me, and off we went. As we drove she came on to me, and after a talk wanted to give it up. She wanted 50, I said 20, we settled for 30.
Here is the kicker, she didn't want to give me a BJ, at least not for 30. Let me tell you, if you go up in price, you are a SUCKER. Stay firm, unless she is a Knock-Out in looks, and details. Most aren't!
After some thought she started to recant, and was about to give in, but by then, I was taking her back to where I found her, and just wanted her out of the car, wasting my time. Close to the location she said "OKAY", but don't take it. If you do she will have your MONEY, give you a Terrible BJ, and then argue with you about everything else. I told her "Thanks" but "No Thanks". I told you up front what I wanted, and you refused, so I refuse to renegotiate. SHe was pissed, and I didn't care.
Later I saw Christy, and she was looking SEXZ, in her shorts. I missed out on her a few days earlier, so I wanted this one. She asked me if I could come back in 15-20 minutes, and I told her to meet me in 30 at a location she knows of. Of course she was a "NO SHOW" and after about 90m she shows up wanting to "DO" something. I told her to screw it, I didn't want her anymore. I told her I screwed this girl she really dislikes, because I refuse to wait on her. She was PISSED, and tried to argue with me. I told her, but PUSSY was a Dime-a-Dozen, ut MONEY wasn't. She was counting on my dollars, and about that time LE, drove throw and parked near by, screwing up her plans. She wanted me to give her a ride, and I told her to walk around to where I parked in about 10m, and by time she did I had drove off. She was PISSED!
In the meantime, I caught up with two of my P/T, walking to or from home, and I got with them. Of course we had been together, many times before, so all was good. Costing me 30 each for about 1h15m of service, and that is a bargain.
Coming from my Quarter Minimum Poker game, I took another WE/OTR sweep, and found Mandy. She is still as Dopey as she always seem to be. She got in, but we couldn't go to the regular spot, because the person I knew moved from the Apt, and the other connections weren't Home. We choose a location we had been to before. I told her we could got in there and she kinda refused. I told her I didn't have all night. Either now or get out.
She was too slow about it, so said, Screw It, and told her to get out. She wanted me to take her back, and I told her she should have thought about that, before she first said OKAY. I did take her two blocks away from her pick up point, and told her to get out, and even she wanted to make the money, and told me she would do it for 15, but I said "NO", and she had to get out, which she did.
You don't have to be NASTY, but it is Good to be very firm and direct. Once they know they can't bullshit you, and you won't take it, you will get better service, and they will stop the crap with others. They never know who will do what. I can see them being SAFE, but I can't see them being "STUPID".
Take a hard line, and have a back up, just in case. Once you do, you will get a little less CRAP, from those SW's that know you. They do talk among themselves, and you PISSING them off will come up. They won't boycott you for they always need the MONEY, abd being a reliable safe client, you will be Forgiven!
