``Give me all your money,'' the robber said. The victim said he didn't have any. The robber pulled out a hunter's knife and said, ``Give me your money or else.''

The victim said he emptied his pockets but held his brother's ATM card in his hand. He told police the card was the only thing the robber stole.

Later that day, another man was held up in Hollywood.

The victim said he pushed the gun away and started screaming.

The robber got into a black car and left.
