Thieves Steal Snow Blower at Gunpoint

You can't even shovel snow without getting robbed in this city.

A man on the 5700 block of North Spaulding Avenue in Chicago’s Albany Park neighborhood, was robbed at gunpoint.

The crime was reported around 9:41 p.m.

Police said three men stole the man’s snow blower and lawnmower from his garage.

So far, I have been unable to get a description of the offenders. Authorities have not said how the thieves fled the scene.

I'm guessing a getaway car was parked nearby. After all, it’s a little difficult to stick a snow blower and a lawnmower in your pocket -- no matter how baggy your jeans are.
