He robbed a jewelry store for $5k. Couldn't few English lessons in Gangnam have taken care of the problem? After all he was headed to graduate school at Seoul University. How do you say pound-me-in-the-ass prison in Korean? WTF? He robbed a jewelry store for $5k. Couldn’t few English lessons in Gangnam have taken care of the problem? After all he was headed to graduate school at Seoul University.

How do you say pound-me-in-the-ass prison in Korean?

Why just get deported only? Why not a little Korean prison stay for armed robbery and then deported?

One is not to the exclusion of the other.

Stealing jewelry to attend a Korean university is like robbing the Hilton for a night's stay at Motel 6. And didn't Mr. F already have a degree? I think it was time for F to get a real job. He was killing time to stay in Korea for some reason, probably because back in the US he'd end up in jail anyway. Here’s Mr. F’s first mistake: applying to a Korean school.

Store Robberies by Foreigners in Korea in 2008 were by Americans!</i> While MrMao is only kidding, in truth, foreigners commit robberies in department stores here more often than you might think. Through my wife, I’ve met quite a few people who work in the luxury-brands market, and through acquaintances at different brands and department stores, I’ve heard tales of snatch-and-grab teams that come into the shops and take off in a flash. The employees describe them as being usually okay-dressed and appearing to be either Middle-eastern or Indian/Pakistani. Again, this is the employees' description, not mine. What they take varies from a little to a lot. As a general rule, if the criminals (whether Korean or non-Korean) are not caught, the crime will not get into the news, as the stores wish to avoid notoriety. 100% of Dept. Store Robberies by Foreigners in Korea in 2008 were by Americans!
