I wanted this to be an edit to the original post, but it looks like that post is locked into stone for now. I wanted to expand on the robbery incident and illustrate how something like that is potentially even worse than you'd expect. The reason he was walking through the neighborhood is because he doesn't have (and can't afford) a car, and he was walking back from work. They made the "mistake" of calling 911 to report the incident. He was mildly beaten up, and they were worried about potential injuries, so they sent an ambulance. It turns out he was completely okay, and they put on a few bandages and that was it. Then he was hit with a $3k bill. Her brother works part time at a minimum wage job while going to school. A random $3k bill out of the blue is really not affordable to him, so now he's on a payment plan paying off that debt. This is on top of the items that were actually stolen from him, like his phone, which he had to replace, and the general trauma of having been robbed.
