There were 5 of us - and we all lost a lot - laptops, phones, cameras, lens, wallets, watches, shoes, hats, wedding rings, chains, etc etc - but God was with us and thankfully we all left with our lives.

Fun fact - one of the robbers had the hard drive with the finished Kontrol project on it in one hand and a gun in the other and I was like “Bruh, I need that….” and he gave it back (and my passport too). So much could've went wrong..but it didn't. So, as I grow another year older - I THANK GOD FOR LIFE. <3 HBD to me.“

Happy birthday to him.
