was held-up!

Oh my gosh. I do not know what the world is coming to anymore. We had tow prisoners escape here last night from a prison right up the road and the police still have not caught them. One was a white man and the other one was African American. I am glad that your friend is okay. I would have been traumatized too. I hate to leave the house because of the waay the world is these days.

I have been robbed, but my experience was more funny than anything. It was just after dark in Over-The-Rhine, one of the not-so-good neighborhoods in Cincinnati. I had just cashed my check at one of the local stores, and was walking home. I did have a purse, but my habit was to carry my money in my pocket. So I'm walking down the street, and all of a sudden a guy rushes up from behind me, snatches my purse, and keeps running. I guess he was expecting me to chase him, because after he got a little distance from me, he looked back. I was still standing in the spot where he grabbed my purse. Yes the purse had my ID and social in there, but my credit is so bad, that if someone tried to steal my identity, they'd give it back!!! He slowed down, then actually stopped and looked in my purse. No money. He actually walked back to me, handed me my purse, and apologized. I hollered!!! It would have been a scary experience, had my money been in the purse, but my habits and his actions made it hilarious instead.

no thank god it has never happened to me, I don't know what I would do if it ever did.

Hello dear ows. It is really so scary of the moron to rob your friend's bag from nowhere. I am so sorry that she got such an unhappy experience. Well, my sister-in-law had a similar robbery by a fast-riding motor guy, who snatched her shoulder bag while she was walking on the street during the day in a quiet lane. So it is always better to walk somewhere it is busy instead for safety. Thank you for your discussion.
