Giants wideout Steve Smith was the victim of an armed holdup in his own driveway on November 25.

Captain Robert Rowan of the Clifton Police Department confirmed the details of the incident to PA SportsTicker on Tuesday.

According to the police, Smith was approached from behind at approximately 4 a.m. last Tuesday by an unknown assailant who pointed a gun at Smith’s head and said, “Give me all you got.”

Smith turned over cash and jewelry to the gunman, the amount of which has not been determined, Rowan said.

No arrests have been made in the robbery, which happened inside a gated community where Smith resides. The matter is still under investigation.

“It’s fairly obvious he was targeted,” Rowan said.

It has been widely speculated and obvious that the Smith’s holdup was the reason Burress felt compelled to carry a loaded gun into a midtown Manhattan nightclub Friday night.

The gun accidentally discharged inside the Latin Quarter nightclub, causing a minor wound to Burress’ thigh and leading to criminal charges against him Monday.

Burress was charged with second-degree criminal possession of a weapon - a Glock semiautomatic pistol - and third-degree possession for carrying the ammunition clip.

Both are Class C felonies, for which Burress could be sentenced to a mandatory minimum of 3 1/2 years in jail if convicted.

A second-round pick of New York in 2007, Smith has flourished this season with 43 receptions for 424 yards and a touchdown.The plaxico arrest has been huge news in the sports world and received constant attention since it happened.

Nothing good happens when you're out at 4:00 AM.

C'mon, dawg! How was that NOT a set-up? What "random criminal" lays in wait at 4-fucking-AM? LOL! And where do these muthafuckas live to where this shit can happen? It's called "ARMED GATED COMMUNITY," dawg! You're now a TARGET! Wise up!

You can bet it was a two-man operation. One guy tailing Smith, and one guy waiting at the house for him to arrive.

Smith probably could have figured it out if he'd been tailed, but I bet he wasn't. The tail called the waiting guy when Smith was clearly headed home, and then peeled off.

The waiting guy could have been in the neighborhood all day, but you're right. Targets like Smith need to live in gated communities if they can.

It WAS a gated community.

Yep. Or maybe he could've simply phoned his accomplice saying "He just left. Get ready".

Wow. Damn shame. Someone's fired. And then the company should be sued.

MuthaFunka said:

Have ya'll done this before?

SCNDLS said:

Sooooo...nice weather we're having, huh, SC?

MuthaFunka said:

Actually NO. Yesterday it was 77 degrees and 12 hours later it was in the 30s! I hate that shit.

Now, back to you and your felonious ways. . .

Where was Plaxico? Have they questioned him yet?

That's no reason for Plaxico to have a gun in a nightclub. He'd want the gun in the car.
Smith was assaulted in his vehicle not in a nightclub.


So why is a reporter listening to jerks attempting to connect Plaxico's behavior with Smith's incident?
