Hedge Funds





Living in the middle of the city you don't have too many choices when you want to play ball. We played at the 26th and 2nd avenue basketball courts right underneath the projects a few times this summer. If you play a pick up game there, you better bring your A-game cuz they don't mess around. Anyways, after one such game a friend of mine walked off the court to see that someone had swiped his wallet from his bag. Of course we immediately started looking around but to no avail. Just when we had given up, this 14 year old girl walked up to us and said "Yo... I saw some kids take your wallet...I can get it back for you..............for 20$!". At the point my friend had little choice. He needed his credit cards/driver license etc. So he borrowed $20 from us and paid the girl. She proceeded to skip over to the hedges way in the back and picked up the wallet and returned it to my friend. Of course there was no cash left in it but he got back his cards and license. Old fashioned hustle. So from now... no cell phones or wallets we only take change for a gatorade...
