“The victim, who was not identified by police, said two men approached him at about 1 a.m. near the intersection of Amberson Avenue and Amberson Place. He told police the men demanded his wallet and asked for his PIN number for his credit cards; one of the men also showed what appeared to be a handgun,” Riely reports.
“The man told police he turned over his wallet, his PIN number and his iPhone before running away toward Ellsworth Avenue,” Riely reports. “Officers arrived while he was contacting his bank to cancel his cards.”
Riely reports, “The man later used his computer [via Apple’s MobileMe’s “Find My iPhone” fetaure] to track the location of his iPhone to a Wal-Mart in North Versailles, where police said the suspects purchased items with his stolen credit card before moving on to an Eat’n Park restaurant on Route 30.”

MacDailyNews Take: It figures that the idiots went straight to Wal-Mart with their stolen credit card. They probably tried to buy… sorry, we’re trying not to laugh too hard… the “best television in the place” before hitting what certainly sounds like a Michelin 3-star establishment if we’ve ever heard one. Bwahahaha!
It could have been worse, the robbers could have splurged and pigged out at McDonalds after Walmart…
You can tell the muggers high class. At least they didn’t dine at Pay’n Eat.
Jeez MDN, bust on the robbers all you want, but lay off the Eat-n-Park. Whenever we travel across PA, we will always stop and grab a box of Smiley Cookies. Instead of being such a bunch of sour pusses, maybe you need a Smiley Cookie. Go ahead. Have a cookie.
At least the victim, had the good sense to take the info to the police, instead of that other guy we read about that went after the crooks on his own
I would urge all of the hypersensitive indigents to the Pittsburg area to read the article more closely before commenting. MDN’s take was only snarky towards Wal-mart.
@HeavyD
Town by the name of Shadyside.
Eat’n Park restaurant on Route 30.
Sounds hillbilly to me.
Yeah, and you sound like typical Public assistance trash to me. Trust me, scrap like you never would be seen in Shadyside, let alone the Apple Store there (where I visit a few times a week on my lunch hour since I work in the strip).
I bet you’re an Obama supporter aren’t you??? Any luck getting working people to pay for your health insurance yet???
If they took his iPhone how was he able to call the banks while the cops arrived?
“The victim….”
another way of saying “someone not properly armed”
Roaming around at 1a.m. without a loaded weapon?
