Absolutely. I hope those attempted street robberies weren't in Indiana? Where do you live, Gary?
No -- I faced some street crime in Chicago and Evanston, IL, where I used to live and work. I'm glad to say they never got a dime from me, but that was partly through luck, not skill.
We really don't have any crime in my small Indiana town -- not since that day in the 1930's when a gang tried to rob the local bank. Concerned citizens grabbed some guns from the nearby hardware store and shot a couple of the robbers as they exited the bank. The rest were quickly captured.
