While en route downtown via a Muni train bus last night, a man was robbed of his smartphone after two men brandished a gun. According to SF Weekly, "The two men got onto the bus and sat next to the victim, and started 'small talk' with the man, buttering him up by complimenting his phone." When the victim tried to put his phone away, the two meanies showed off their gun, which prompted the guy to hand over his phone. The two men swiftly took off after the, ahem, "iRobbery."
