I had 30k in chips that I had to cash and exchange for USD before I left so I walked from my hotel (crowne plaza) to the casino (like 3 minute walk).. Got cash, got some mcdonalds, someone must have been casing me or something, cuz right on the middle of the bridge when I am walking back I hear footsteps running and this guy hits me in the back of the head, knocks me down and reaches right into my hoodie and grabs all the money, brandishes a knife, threatens me and runs off…
