Diane and I spent the weekend in Vegas. While the girls went to Chippendales show, the guys went to a club more to our liking. There was a communcation breakdown in our group as we left and one guy was left behind (21 year old son of my boss). As a result, he had to take a cab by himself to the hotel.

Sounds like the cab drive didn't start the meter when they left the club. After several blocks, the cab pulled over and driver told him to get out as his cab was "out-of-service". He was told he could cross the street to get a new cab.

Right after the cab drove off, a pick-up truck with it's lights out promptly pulled up and robbed him at gun point. They didn't even take his wallet and just wanted his money. I guess it was over in just seconds. Luckly he had most of cash on-hand in his pocket which they didn't take.
