(edited out idiotic question)

I'm surprised we don't hear more of these types of stories.

This happened last year however they caught these guys that had robbed some other local stores. I think this is a new ring HOWEVER, the grey oldmobile guys did always travel in fours and worked in that area of west nassau county. So that may make it a toughter read.

All the more reason to continue playing at the underground cardroom I play at. First of all, you WOULD NOT want to mess with the guys that run this place (I wont make it any clearer). Second you walk through three locked doors to get to the cardroom. You are on camera and looked at by half of the staff before you can come in. Your first time, they take license, business card e.t.c. and "check you out" as well as frisk. Glad they like me!

Given the description, this is probably directed less at criminals and more at keeping out undercover police.

The link above does not work for me. Can you edit it so that it will work?

Thanks

Cut and paste, then use the website's search for "poker" and you'll find it from a month ago
