"The purse snatching occurred Saturday around 6:02 p.m. The victim told police she was walking near Beacon Street and Capitol Avenue when the suspect came up from behind.
He demanded her Dolce & Gabbana purse, which contained $1,800, and then forcefully took it from her, police said. He then fled south on Beacon Street."
Now why on Earth would anyone be walking around city streets after dark with $1800 in a Dolce & Gabbana purse? Was the neon sign saying "cash on hand" not available? Who is walking around with $1800 cash these days? Sad City needs a little more of the why in this story.
So far we have come up with two plausible explanations. The victim is (a) up to some suspicious activity, or (b) a moronic West Hartford suburbanite lacking in any street sense whatsoever.

ReplyDeleteA. Like a WeHa resident carries cash.
ReplyDeleteTough call. That's not a real D&G type neighborhood, but she could have been visiting someone. Occam's Razor says A.
ReplyDeleteAren't victims ID's in police reports? Maybe you could do some reporting here....
seems like a little from column A and B. Perhaps someone looking to make a huge transaction before an epic party without enough street smarts to not make themselves look like a walking target.
ReplyDeleteI'm guessing she forgot to include the decimal point = $18.00
