That sucks, I wish there weren't stupid people like that. I wish I could read the article too.

Geeze, poor guy. If I was being robbed of my headphones, I would just give them up and save myself a beating. Or perhaps this guy was just a random victim of violence, and they decided to take his headphones afterwards? Can't say since I can't read the article. :/

Don't just leave us like that; what type of headphones were they?

 

[blinx]

If it were a pair of ibuds or SR-60's i'd just give them to the aggressors.

If it were my RS-1's, fists would be flyin!

Bijna doodgeslagen om koptelefoon AMSTERDAM - Een 18-jarige Hagenaar is bijna doodgeslagen om een koptelefoon. De politie is op zoek naar getuigen van de aanslag in de Elandstraat in Den Haag, zaterdagmorgen vroeg. Het slachtoffer werd daar zonder aanleiding in het gezicht geslagen. Hij raakte bewusteloos en werd later door de politie gevonden, beroofd van zijn koptelefoon. In het ziekenhuis bleek hij een hersenschudding en een scheur in zijn schedel te hebben opgelopen. De jongeman zei dat hij drie belagers had gezien. Eén van hen had blonde stekeltjes. De politie is op zoek naar getuigen.

He described seeing three attackers, once of which had short blond spikes. The police are looking for witnesses.

It seems like everytime this happens here, it's over something little such as a MP3 player, cell phone, or now headphones.

If I was walking about in the wrong part of The Hague, I'd gladly give them my RS-1's and run like hell.

Most likely however they were a pair of ibuds and that's as sad as it gets.

I guess I better stop wearing that Shure shirt, "My (earphones) cost more than your (iPod)."

The attackers probably post on Hate-Fi.

I came in here thinking this thread was about my bank account.

Reading this made me realize how easy it would be to sneak up behind someone wearing headphones.

Perhaps they were really after his audio player?

Because that would have been so much better

Well, I guess this blows my cover. I'll never be able to 'shop' for headphones in the Netherlands again...
