The other day the sports radio guy talked about how he witnessed a guy grab an old woman’s purse. The radio guy was in the car with his wife.
Long car chase with his wife yelling at him, foot race down a dark alley, blew out his knee jumping over a fence. Long involved story with all the details.
“So I get back and the police are there with the lady. I hand her the purse and she looks through it. ‘Lipstick, pen, paper, hanky ... oh thank goodness everything is still here.’ “
