Could be, Ebbie, could be. ;-) But I think Chongo would have disarmed those rich scoundrels or quite possibly killed them. He's much more of the "man of action" than I am. Nobody robs Chongo at gunpoint (or umbrella point) and gets away with it.

Eric, what you say does not surprise me. It's getting like that around here too. Rich bloodsuckers from the UK are lurking behind every bush and down every dark alley. I have a personal friend, for instance, who was mugged by the Beckhams the other day and forced to strip naked and pose in menage-a-trois shots that will probably show up on the internet shortly. They also took his Blackberry and his nose ring.

He's undergoing daily counseling now to deal with the emotional trauma.
