Plot
Sylvia, a ex-stripper living in a suburban town has her purse stolen by an arrogant mugger named Mikey on a bicycle, who threatens her with a screwdriver. Meanwhile, a neighbor named Doug witnesses the robbery and chases after Mikey. Mikey speeds away from the aggravated Doug, but hits his bike on a rock and flies onto a lawn, where he pierces his own heart with the screwdriver he was holding. Sylvia then catches up to the thief, goes past Doug and takes her purse back and calmly walks away, as Mikey takes his last breath and dies from cardiopulmonary tamponade, putting an end to his mugging, once and for all.
