I was playing in my local illegal cardroom the other night. All the guys that play there are usually an older crowd but everyone is a regular. We're playing 1-2 R.O.E which has about 2-3K on table but that night there was around 8K which was pretty big for that crowd. It's about 3am and i'm up about 300 when one of the guys that was smoking outside(who is definitely not in on it) comes back in with 3guys behind him wearing masks. One has a fkn assault rifle and the other a pistol pointed at the table. "Everyone get your hands and heads on the table". "Mother fker" I say to myself as i'm complying. The game was soo good. I had my leather jacket over my lap and i shake it off and kick it to the ground under the table just hoping they wouldn't find the $800 i had in it. They ask who's running the game and he speaks and shows them wear the $$ is. After they get that money they tell us to put our keys phones and jewelry on the table. They begin to search us one by one to check if we got anything else. One on the guys, a shady dude who I personally know to do some dirty sh*t tries to hide his rolex under the sleeves of his longsleeve shirt. They bust him upside the head. Don't worry they find my jacket and get my money as i'm cursing to myself that they found it. I've been robbed 2x and sometimes they're not as thorough. They ask who's Range Rover is out front and the busted up guy says it's his. They ask if there's any $$ or drugs in the car and he says no. One of the guys goes outside and i guess looks in his car. They start duct taping our hands behind our back(amateur move). Soon after I hear tires screach off. I look up at the camera that points outside and i don't see anyone. I bust out of my duct tape cuffs and look for my keys which i had seen them put on the other card table. I run outside and jump in my truck grab my pistol underneath the seat and take off out of the parking lost. you can either turn right, which is towards a residential area or left which is towards the highway. I turned left not knowing what i was looking for or where i was going. I get about 2-3 miles down the road when i stop at the light and see that guys range rover a lane over. I say to myself i can't believe they stole his car. i follow them as they get on the highway. I see a cop on the shoulder and as i pass him i tap on break 5-6 times and he pulls up beside me. "Those motherfkers in the range rover just robbed me." He pulls up behind them and lights em up. They take off and the chase is on. I can barely keep up going 90 and they finally ditch the car about 15mi later. They end up catching the guys after about a 2hr search. One of the guys has the bag full of our money. I can't believe it. We stay at the scene for about 4 hrs total and i end up following the cops back to the game to give statements. They end up giving us all the money back. I couldn't believe it. We didn't get any tickets for playing poker because it's only illegal if you're taking a rake and we're not stupid and say they did. I end up getting all my $$ back plus what i was winning in the game and an extra 3k for getting our $$ back. What a crazy night.

good story dude... glad ur ok

sell the movie rights... i thoroughly enjoyed that

Glad you're OK. Really well done degen'ing your Xmas money in a card game.

siick story nice ending. glad everything worked out for you and justice was served!

Good...your first response tied the money to Xmas, which is always scary.

Bottom line, though...good to know you're OK, and saved the roll for everyone. You gonna play that game again if they offer it?

awesome story. ur the man!

I never gamble with bill $$ I got wife(hate) and a kid(love) to pay for. Just take a few shots at the game every week. They got a security guard out front and put up another camera to see the whole parking lot now.

okay so you said 3 guys came in but only mention 2 guys with weapons.

<span> They take off and the chase is on. </span> I can barely keep up going 90 and they finally ditch the car about 15mi later.<span> </span>

so no other cops joined the chase? it was just you and the one officer cashing the range rover? and if others did show up, they just let you drive 90 and follow the chase?

<span> </span>We<span> stay at the scene for about 4 hrs total and i end up following the cops back to the game to give statements. </span>

you say we but you said you chased after them by yourself. so everybody that was at the game just stuck around for 4 hours hoping you would eventually come back with their $$$?

just a couple spots in your story i thought seemed kind of made up. if not i'm sorry and def a good story. also seems like something that might make the evening news...just saying.

Unknown to us was there was a camera inside that was connected with the owners through the internet that saw midthough what was going on. They called the cops while it was happening. After i flagged that cop down there was 2-3 more that joined in the chase as it happened. I was way behind the chase I was just following the siren lights. Some people left after the cops showed up there and gave their statements. They didn't know where i was until I got back there with the other cops. And yes i was the only one that chased after them. Doesn't make me a bad ass just a pissed off mother fucker who was stupid enough to not lay down and get fucked. been robbed 2 other times before this and wasn't gonna let it happen again

lol, epic post. ty for this.

link to news report or scanned police report or it didnt happen.
