DOES not happen in Australia anymore, IF it ever did. Today theres one in front of you and the other behind. Glock 9mm pointed at you and a terse "Hands up, then they take your wallet. "

All because I was walking alone along a dark street. And no, I am not a thief.

Around 35 years ago we were walking towards a trail near Canberra. The last and isolated shack-like house had a large notice on the gate "Trespassers will be shot"

I don't know to this day whether it was serious or not. I wasn't about to try and find out. I guess if he followed through with the threat, it would have been a quick burial out in the bush.
