ReplyDeleteNow that's how a description should be. Doubt he'll ditch those shoes because they're not cheap..unless of course, he stole them. Same with the jacket. Bravo to the victim for giving a great description of the perp.
Towanda, this victim did exactly what YOU suggested. He paid attention to the thief's shoes and the details of the offender's clothing - not just the colors. :-)
ReplyDeleteIt's really the only way a thief MIGHT get arrested. Aren't all these articles you put up Timothy considered "violent crime"..didn't Wies say, once again, "violent crime is down?"
ReplyDeleteIt would be interesting to have the statistics of these muggings for just 1 day. 100's of these crimes are committed everyday and the perps get away with it. The sad thing is that it's only getting worse.
