Crime
This morning, I was witness to a crime. As they were getting off, two punks swiped the iPod of a guy sitting next to the rear door of the bus. The victim gave chase but couldn’t catch them. The bus driver called the police and several passengers provided helpful details on the perpetrators.
I felt horrible that this crime happened. We’re hearing of more frequent crimes in the neighborhood (residential burglaries) and I wonder how much worse things will get with the economic downturn.
I’m encouraging everyone to use preventive measures: security systems, lighted driveways, pockets that fasten shut, and wrist straps on small, valuable belongings.
