Friend got mugged twice and had bike stolen in 1 year
Friend lives in Canovelles, Barcelona. Absolute shithole of a town. If you are not a local do not dream of going in there, you WILL get mugged.
Anyways a few months ago, he was unlocking the main entrance door on the ground floor to enter his apartment building, when two Dominican guys tap him on the back, show him a large machete and tell him to go inside. They go inside, make him unlock his phone and show them the password, take the phone and wallet, leave.
Just a couple months later, he gets mugged again at knife point, this time in Granollers by two guys, either Moroccan or Algerian.
And just last week, he gets home just to find that his bike (which was in a dirt parking lot next to the apartment building) got stolen. He reported it to the cops and they found it thrashed in some random spot, all totaled, two days later. They didn’t even sell it for parts, the thieves were probably just bored and decided to take the bike and fuck it up.
Ah, this same guy saw two Moroccan dudes stabbing each other in front of his balcony barely 2 months ago. He called the cops, they said they would send someone. The cops appeared 40 minutes later when there was no one there except blood on the floor.
Here’s the kicker: he doesn’t even live in the bad part of town.
Fucking third-world ass country.

What a bad take. Clearly there are bad areas and good areas. Canovelles is amongst the worst in the entirety of Catalonia.

Forgot to mention this: another friend (also from Canovelles) found a katana in front of his home. A different friend (from Canovelles too) lives in front of an actual crackhouse. Shit feels like GTA.
