Boston Police report a delivery guy making a delivery to Linksy Barry Court around 6:30 p.m. on Oct. 20 was held up at gunpoint.

Police say the victim put up a fight, but lost, and the suspect, described as a black man, about 23 and 5'9" with a thin build and a beard, made off with $400.

At a hearing earlier this week, police cited an uptick in crime against food deliverers after 11 p.m. as one reason to oppose a bid by the South Boston Domino's to extend its closing hours from 1 a.m. to 3 a.m.

Someone attempts to mug a cop -> manhunt with a helicopter
Someone actually mugs a pizza driver -> restrictions on pizza businesses

Restaurants could avoid this by requiring deliveries to be paid for by credit card. That way, drivers don't handle cash at all, AND the restaurant has a more tangible record of who ordered the delivery if the driver is mugged.
