Subject: [Chat] Kids stealing handbags

 

Sheila Rees and I were walking home from Donna's in the 2800 block of St.
Paul Street last night about 9:30 when a teenager on a bicycle rode up from
behind and grabbed my handbag from me. I was carrying it in my hand, sort of
swinging it, and it wasn't hard for him to jerk it loose. He took off down
St. Paul, avoided the Neighborhood Walkers, who lunged at him, and got away.
The Walkers had 911 on the phone immediately, and they chased the kid all
over the 'hood but still haven't caught him. (Thanks to Jeff and Kent, who
have been walking their route for years.)

 

Women beware: don't carry your handbag loosely in your hand!  I learned my
lesson. Also, everyone should be aware that a group of kids from the 27th
and Guilford/Barclay area has taken to riding around perpetrating crimes
like this. They clearly are targeting the retail/restaurant area. 

 

Incidentally we know who this kid is and where he lives. His name is Kevin,
and he lives on 27th Street.
