Having moved to a new area I was walking home in the dark. The road is long and dark with some tall trees at one side of the road. My girlfriend is home alone and waiting for my arrival.
Quite surprised to see a large gang standing a couple of hundred yards down the road from our gate. Without making it too obvious I increase my pace. Relieved to be almost at the gate and they haven't come any closer.
But just as I reach for the gate I see that they've come closer in a nanosecond. I recognise them as a Brazilian street gang. They point guns at me and tell me to lie down and face the ground. Is this how it's done in Brazil?
They quickly enter the house and are gone in under a minute.
Once the coast is clear I rush into the house. My girlfriend notes that we have been robbed but we struggle to find what has actually been stolen. There is also a good feeling about how we survived and I'm almost indifferent to the whole trauma.
