I got mugged once too, in Denver. I was lightly injured when my assailant grabbed at my shoulder strapped purse. There were people all around, but people just watched in shock. He ran with the purse, but my husband chased after him until he tossed the purse and continued running to his home, where police found him panting behind the door. I ID'd him from a mugshot.

Generally speaking these thugs already have criminal records, but yearn to accelerate their crimes until they do big time. It's too bad they have to commit crimes and injure innocent people before they are rewarded with the prison lifestyle they are so avidly seeking.

Good for you, MD. I'm glad they got him.

My well-known-crack-head received 8 months because he was caught having sold my stolen property to a pawn shop, (a piece of jewelry that the Toronto Police returned to me.), and he was probably out in 2.

He caught the kids and I coming out of a restaurant after dark, waited for me to open the car doors, and then shoved a gun in my face, and demanded my purse.

I was taught to cooperate, so I released my purse, and he ran.

A moment or two passed, and then I ran. After him, screaming at him, calling him names, and, I was actually catching up to the guy.

At this point something kicked in.........Er, Fan, what are you going to do if you catch him?

LOL.

I didn't carry a purse for a while, and then I realized that I should. If a mugger wants my purse, he can have it, but unless he wears Dior 286, he will have risked everything, for nothing. If he grabs my empty purse, it may be that I save some other lady who "keeps all her stuff in her purse", from a mugging.

Never before that day had I thought about how a purse is a flashing beacon, screaming out...

"Here's all my stuff, every thing I value in the world!"
