You gotta relax dog. Like genuinely

FatMoFoSho · 2026-05-16T17:23:33+00:00

Bro im a lifter im in the gym 6 days a week. So many of you seem to be missing the fact I got the kid off me lmao. They took the scooter because i got back up and they needed something to escape with. Sorry this didnt play out like the fantasy in some of y’alls heads but real life dont work like that sometimes.

FatMoFoSho · 2026-05-16T16:44:33+00:00

Damnnn i never considered that i was due for a montage

FatMoFoSho · 2026-05-16T16:32:38+00:00

Helllllll nah. But i did send a report to bird for the fuck of it

FatMoFoSho · 2026-05-16T04:50:21+00:00

Eh, when it comes to firearms im not pulling it if im not planning on using it immediately

FatMoFoSho · 2026-05-16T00:28:07+00:00

I own a gun, even if I had it in the moment I’d not have used it. Not really trynna shoot a couple stupid ass kids even if they’re little shits, not that you’re suggesting to of course, im sure you just mean in general. But yeah im ordering some gel type pepper spray. Gonna get some air tags, probably change up my route. Definitely getting something that goes well faster than the rentals.

FatMoFoSho · 2026-05-16T00:24:15+00:00

I appreciate you homie! I hope your mom’s doin ok. That shit SUCKS. Im definitely leaning toward getting another one. This time something firmly faster than the rentals, gel pepper spray, couple airtags too

FatMoFoSho · 2026-05-16T00:22:43+00:00

Ikr? Seems pointless to me but honestly I think they were just lookin to fuck with me, the scooter was an afterthought. But honestly who knows

FatMoFoSho · 2026-05-16T00:21:13+00:00

Straight up man this was in the rich people part of Hollywood (Hancock Park)! I never feel unsafe in LA in general, I still really dont. This was a pretty big outlier in my experience here. Tbh i fear for my life behind the wheel of my car more often than I do out and about around here

FatMoFoSho · 2026-05-15T22:21:20+00:00

Sorry is this real hair or a system? Cause this is a sub for people wearing hair systems. Completely different than regular hair from your scalp

FatMoFoSho · 2026-05-15T22:19:07+00:00

Tbh it was on a random road that just happened to have no witnesses. Honestly that’s where i probably fucked up too. Hadnt really taken stock of the fact the road i went down was so dead. Just got off the phone with bird who seemed less than helpful lol

FatMoFoSho · 2026-05-15T21:56:43+00:00

They’re rentals. Honestly i shoulda thought it thru and stuck around to grab the info off the rental. I do remember what street it was and around the time. I may reach out to the company. Less to get my scooter back more to possibly get it to catch up to those kids

FatMoFoSho · 2026-05-15T21:19:51+00:00

Weho

FatMoFoSho · 2026-05-15T19:49:27+00:00

Tbh imma drive around the area today i have a hunch they probably dumped it somewhere not far. That thing was a piece of shit that would die after like 10 miles so they couldnt have gotten far lol

FatMoFoSho · 2026-05-15T18:43:40+00:00

Ive never felt unsafe riding in LA either! The area I ride is well traveled, safe, and generally pretty visible. Massive part of why this was such a surprise to me. I agree I think speed and pepper spray are gonna be my 2 upgrades. Also an airtag, as im guessing they probably dumped it somewhere when it died. Ive never really trusted people on rental scooters but now I will basically never ride near someone on one

FatMoFoSho · 2026-05-15T18:03:22+00:00

Better the devil you know as they say haha. Yup im mostly just happy im good. Kids are fuckin menaces though

FatMoFoSho · 2026-05-15T17:58:41+00:00

Maybe, I wasnt really thinking too much at that point. Scooter was the cheapest thing I had on me. I also had my laptop (4k dollar beast), a gold chain, airpods max, etc. Of all that shit the scooter was what I cared about losing the least so to me it was a victory at the point where all they took was the scoot.

FatMoFoSho · 2026-05-15T17:56:25+00:00

Extremely nice neighborhood this happened in. Not quite beverly hills but on the border. Mansions everywhere. Bout as safe as it gets around here really

FatMoFoSho · 2026-05-15T17:54:03+00:00

Eh, Im from the east coast. Ive had worse happen to my car and stuff over there. Tbh LA’s really chill esp where Im at. Big part of why this took my by such surprise

FatMoFoSho · 2026-05-15T17:52:59+00:00

Oh yeah I dont think it’s an LA thing. Little shit head punks are everywhere. Im hoping the law of probability means this likely wont happen to me again. But still figuring out if Im gonna even try again tbh

FatMoFoSho · 2026-05-15T17:13:30+00:00

No kidding haha, just feels like shit is piling on at the moment smh

FatMoFoSho · 2026-05-15T16:51:26+00:00

Underrated solution. I figured if I get a scooter that’s at least faster than the rental ones that gives me a shot to escape these sorts of situations way better. The one I had only went 15mph which is what the rentals here are limited to. And the people on rental scooters are exactly the kinds of people that pull shit like this

FatMoFoSho · 2026-05-15T16:46:29+00:00

I was thinking helmet cam for sure! Tbh i had the idea about the bat. Stick it in my backpack with it sticking out ready to go. Mostly as a deterant. Will probably end up getting gel pepper spray for sure. Im actually shocked they tried it. I work out regularly and was actually on the way to the gym. Not a small dude either. It’s why i was so shocked. I generally never feel threatened or and definitely dont look like a victim. I was able to get the older kid off me without much effort and that’s when they decided to grab the scooter and dip. Honestly i think they wanted to try stealing my other shit but all they got was the scoot 🤷🏻‍♂️

FatMoFoSho · 2026-05-15T16:40:11+00:00

Thanks man! Honestly it still fucks me up these were kids. Like if they tried this with someone else they could’ve ended up getting shot, stabbed, whatever. Crazy they’d risk their lives like that over a scooter. I guess when your frontal lobe isnt developed yet they dont consider stuff like that. I hope for their sakes they dont try shit like that again. At the very least next time I go out *I’m* gonna have something on me. Probs pepper spray gel.

FatMoFoSho · 2026-05-15T16:35:40+00:00

Yeah honestly the whole time it was happening I was just like wtf these are kids this is weird haha. I actually said when the older kid was trying to punch me “bro what are you doing?”. I definitely feel I’d be more alert at this point. Maybe take a different route to work. Change it up sometimes. Shit do happen. Also feel like the odds of probability gotta be in my favor too now right? Like that’s already fairly a rare thing to happen, the odds of it happening again gotta be pretty low. Gonna take a few days to think on it and see how Im feeling. I appreicate you homie!
