GARYC24 3 #1 June 23, 2005 At parttime job.Some guy came in snatched an elderly senior citizen lady's purse. She had over $2000 in it, just came from the bank. Police suspect that she was definetely cased all the way from the bank to McD's. I wasn't there when it happened, it was 15 minutes before I clocked in! Man, I wish I was there to chase the guy down. Didn't think things would happen like that so close to home! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Paige 0 #2 June 23, 2005 Good post, I've always been one to be a bit paranoid at the bank. I witnessed this in college, thank goodness I was no involved. Don't carry $2000 in cash on you if you are not going some place where it can be kept properly. You are foolish if you think otherwise, I have seen this happen in broad day light in the middle of the street just after leaving the bank. You should always be aware of your surroundings, esp. at a bank. Notice who is in there with you and in the parking lot. Being old, that is almost impossible for some Tunnel Pink Mafia Delegate www.TunnelPinkMafia.com Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Worse things may have happened had you chased him down.. He could have had a weapon.. You never know. Sad that this happened, but could have been worse for more people. _______________________________________________ My mind is like a parachute...it functions only when open.

GARYC24 3 #5 June 23, 2005 Maybe.. Some Caltrans guy (big guy!) ran out after him. However, dude gets in a tinted window (SUV ?). So he stopped because of that. Got partial license plate #, cops found vehicle, no person, did not give use any details as stolen, etc. cop came back later that night, asking for more info. Finds out someone says he got out of another car with kids in the backseat, comes in goes to bathroom comes out, snags purse, hops into other car. Oh, well..kinda excitement there that day. Thought I'd make a post about it! haha Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
