At 3:18 a.m., a passenger at the Howard Red Line station at 7519 North Paulina Street, in Rogers Park, reported a theft.
The complainant said someone picked his pockets while he was sleeping on a northbound train.
According to investigators, the man’s property was stolen when the train was at the Bryn Mawr “L” stop at 1119 West Bryn Mawr Avenue, in Chicago’s Edgewater neighborhood.
It’s unclear how authorities came to that conclusion, since the victim reportedly told 911 that he was sleeping when the incident occurred and he “didn’t see or feel anything”.
The Red Line needs the equivalent of Federal Air marshalls at least in every other car now, I think they can find the money by firing the three or four orange-vested people who just hang out with their buddies around El stops and maybe, maybe once in awhile pick up a broom.

ReplyDeleteDo you have a life outside of listening to police scanners all day?
ReplyDeleteyou know what if this guy didnt post these police reports, we wouldnt know waht is really going on, cos the news doesnt report it!! Wise up and appreciate the information.
ReplyDeleteI've been absolutely wasted on the el and buses before, yet I've never been robbed. I don't get how people can get comfortable enough to fall asleep on the public transit. Even if I've had 12 beers, I can still hold it together enough to not have someone steal all my stuff.
ReplyDeletesheeeit.... passing out drunk on the redline at that time of night.
ReplyDeleteI dare say he had it coming...
Use your head or lose your stuff.
1st rule of anywhere: Don't pass out drunk at 3 am on public transportation. He's lucky all that happened is he got robbed.
