6AM Mika
The guy asked for $20, she only had $6.

Panhandlers are always asking for money. Recently they started asking for $5, I never give it.

Great story but I don't think she was mugged. She was hit up for some money by a professional panhandler.

Had she been mugged he would have hit her and taken her money.

If the Limo had been on time she could have given the guy a ride somewhere.

Six dollars is not very much money, she should have written him a check. Spread the wealth around.
