Dave: It happened so fast. I was coming home from work late and walking back from the Metro station; all of a sudden someone jumped out and hit me. Isabel: Okay. What happened after that? Dave: Well, as I was falling down, he reached into my pocket and grabbed my wallet and my iPod. Then he ran off. Isabel: Did you see him clearly? Do you think you could identify him in a lineup? Dave: No, I was listening to music when he mugged me, and he got me from behind. As he was running away, I could just see his back; he was my height but a lot more muscular. Isabel: We've been getting a lot of reports lately about this kind of incident. Try and be more careful when you are walking at night. I would recommend not listening to music so you can stay aware. But we'll file your report; at least maybe we can get your wallet back. Usually criminals ditch them after they take the cash and cards. Dave: I'm just glad I wasn't injured myself. Isabel: Okay, sir, thank you for filing a report. Here's my card if you have any questions or remember anything else that might help out with the investigation. --------------------------- Learn English with EnglishClass101!
