I look at casual encounter ads and I think them over.  They are on Craigs.  I text this girl and she says come on down, and I knock on the door at an extended stay place.  Some guy about twenty feet away walks over and sticks a knife in my gut making a small puncture.  They stole my wallet, money, and phone.

When you remove the accountability that TER provides to both Clients and Providers you are putting yourself in the path to be ripped off or worse put your personal safety and life in jeopardy.

All of my dates post here, but this one.  Decent looking and the old you do not think I am worth it, so I took the bait.  At least I did not wind up like those job seekers showing up for a job on a farm in Ohio and they were murdered,

risk your life on cheap pussy? I wasn't going to comment, but I was pissed after reading your story because it is idiots like you that make the hobby look bad. I cannot feel sorry for you, for doing such a fucking asinine move. You need to get some perspective on how close you came to dying to save a few bucks just to get laid. Why the fuck would you with TER reviews do something so fucking stupid.  

Unfortunately on CL and some of those BP ads are scammers who do not want to provide a service they just want to rob people.
I would report it if I was you.I hope you are okay you mentioned a small cut.
Unfortunately,out here extended stays and budget suites I would stay far away does not matter where in las vegas it is always some sketchy stuff going on at places like that and sketchy folks.
Just stick with TER REVIEWED ONLY providers.
I have heard this similar story so many times over the years it is still upsetting to hear.
Everything they took from you is material and you can get back but the mental aspect of going through something like that is traumatizing

It's your call, I would suggest you report the crime.  

But I am not looking to get bashed either.  My main question was would you file a police report?  Can they charge me with a  misdemeanor for solicitation?  I Googled this issue and they say that in one year the robberies from trick and roll cost victims over $2 million.

for what happened to you.  Sending you positive healing thoughts.

I'm not a law expert by any means, but seeing an online ad and simply showing up to meet someone is NOT a crime. Without any substantial proof, the cops can't prove what your intentions were in going there. You can easily say that you were there just to talk, have a 1st date, whatever....just don't be stupid and incriminate yourself.  

or tell us the ad on Craig's list. You have given zero information on who these people were. I don't do Craig's but the guy with the knife would have ended up shot. I always carry.

Craigslist and BP scare the hell out of me. Glad your semi OK. Has to be tough psychologically though.  
Don't know how long ago this happened. I would find a way to report it though.  
"Was in the neighborhood checking the place out to rent, and was robbed." Show the cops your wounds. Armed robbery might get some attention. Can track your phone with GPS too.

That's terrible that you had to go through that. I once asked a lawyer friend of mine about reporting crimes that might happen while on a call and he said there is some anonymous hotline. I know last month someone gave me a black eye during a session and I was too nervous to report it myself so I understand the hesitancy. If this all was legal, we'd certainly have a lot more protection under the law.

I am nervous about reporting it.  I have a copy of the ad I printed out when I got back home.  I called 311, and I was on the phone forever.  I drove down to the Metro station for my district, but it was closed.  I want to report it, but I cannot even get charged or found guilty of a misdemeanor or it triggers a disciplinary hearing with a state licensing agency.

It's crazy in this town and you can't go with someone that hasn't been reviewed by your peers. This place offers so much and you can't afford to be cheap about it in a town like Vegas, sadly.

Tough love brother. Not bashing. Not sure why as an experienced hobbyist, you would take a chance and risk your life for a cheap ass pussy. Glad you are not dead, but no pussy is worth a life. Stay within the safe confines of TER and other safe venues.  

they do not care why you went there they care to catch these dangerous crooks. I am sick to hear that guys and gals do not report criminal activity..think about the next guy for once...he might not as fortunate as you and he might loose more than money

Report it to the police!  Who cares what the police officers personally think of you?  They are professionals and it is their job to investigate violent crimes and arrest the perpetrators, no matter what the set-up was!

I will report it.

sorry to hear about this hun.
please be careful everyone

...won't have to testify.  They don't care about your minor solicitation charge when they can put two or more really bad guys away.

When I dialed 311 last night, and then I drove to the area command on  Cheyenne and they were closed.

Jeeze I had to have some coffee, and take care of personal things.  Driving in that rain was insane yesterday.   I went to an urgent care at 2:30am and they put some sort of glue on the wound so it wound hold together.  It was not so bad that it needed stitches.  I slept a few hours and went to the bank again for a temp ATM card and I picked up a new phone at Verizon and I was too worn out to think about going do Metro this afternoon.   I had to take a nap.  I will go there Monday.  I have seen similar ads where they post a cute white girl and say it is an incall.
