NOFX are currently touring in South America and discovering the nicest ways to get robbed.

In a post on the Fat Wreck records website, the band’s lead singer Fat Mike has recounted the tale of his recent mugging on the mean streets of Buenos Aires.

“If there ever was a good way to get mugged, I found it. Yeah, No one wants to get robbed, but if you do, I can’t think of a better way.

So, I’m walking down the streets of Buenos Aires at around 7 am looking for a bar and I stop at an intersection. I wanted to text one of our camera dudes and tell him that I was gonna wander around town for a while and maybe he wanted to film me. I pushed send and a guy on a bike accidentally knocks my I-phone out of my hand.

Wait a second, he doesn’t stop and my I-phone isn’t on the ground. I look to my right and there he is, holding my phone (which has a fuck load of pictures that I don’t really want made public) with his right hand and making a pretty fast getaway. Wow! I’ve been robbed! I kind of laugh and think, pretty sneaky. What a fucking great way to get robbed. No violence, no trauma, no chance I’m gonna run after him. Pretty sweet really.”

No matter how sweet the robbery was, it does pose the question – just what sort of photos would a 43 year old punk rocker have on his phone that he wouldn’t want made public? Could we soon be reporting the leak of a Fat Mike sex tape?
