Anyone see this on the news tonight?

Feel so bad for this guy. Young asian student - only been in Australia 1 week - was basically mugged and had a replica gun held to his head. His wallet was stolen which contained $4000 and the offenders ran away after dropping the gun.

Welcome to Australia hey?

Oh and that gun looked so real too - only reason I could tell it was a fake was because it broke on the ground when they dropped it.

People may say it was dumb of him to to carry that sort of money on him but I have been to a few countries and have done the same - seemed safer than leaving it in the hotel.
