I just got robbed at gunpoint and they only asked for my phone. Why? What should I do? So I went to Lapa inio de Janeiro, Brazil to meet my Airbnb Experience guide and the uber dropped me off a little further away from where I was supposed to meet the host. I messaged the host telling him where I was, and wthin that 5 minute time span, these two guys wearing armani exchange shirts (I didn't think too much of it since they looked decently dressed) lifted up their shirts and grabbed their guns from their waistband and pointed it at me yelling "telefono!". I gave them my phone and he told me to walk away in the opposite direction from them. Why didn't they ask for my wallet or credit cards? Isn't that worth more than an iphone? Maybe I'm missing something?
