2. Shaken down in Honduras for $40 after a wandering around the barrio drinking cheap rum. That one was my own stupid fault and the only actual 'robbing.'
Edit: the two below don't technically fit the thread's requirement of a "foreign country"
3. Two guys thought to rob me one night in Bethlehem, PA. It would have been a very bad decision as I was on red-alert, pissed off about something else, and relatively armed. They saw my umbrella (carried under my arm, Colonel Klink style) and I heard them whisper "he's got him a weapon.' and they veered away at the last second. I had a good chuckle at that one, I was ready to pepper-spray 'em and switch to knives when the canister ran out. Hadn't even thought about the umbrella but I used to fence and I'm pretty sure I could put out eyes and damage tracheas with one.
4. Got jumped by the Bloods one night, again in Bethlehem, PA (I went to college there). I suspect they were hoping to blind-side us to either beat up on Whitey or take our cash, or both. Either way, 7 teenage hoods surprise-attacked our (drunk) party of six but weren't expecting a retaliation. Punched a few fools in the kidneys and throats and they decided to leave us to tend to our party's injuries while they hunted for less violent targets.
