Robbery last night at Powderhouse and Packard

A couple people were robbed at knifepoint near the Tufts campus around 1 a.m. last night at Powderhouse and Packard Ave. Somerville and Tufts police are looking for a white male with a crewcut who got into a waiting red Taurus hatchback which headed up towards campus.

People, if you noticed a car like this scoping out the area last night, I'm sure the police would like to hear about it. Also in December we had a post about a robbery at the same place and same time at night.

Uh, people who are facing robbers with knives...and who have very little choice in the matter of "with what am I about to be robbed?"

Bien sur.

I guess I don't find knives very scary. I've also talked down aggressive people with knives each of the times I've been confronted, but admittedly that's anecdotal.

Haha! Got me. The username more correctly refers to attempting things more than once. :P

You should wander around that area and be a vigilante!

If I see a car with that description, I will throw a brick through the window first, and ask questions later.

I will brick all red Ford Tauruses with blade-wielding occupants. Look out, Knifety Jones.

Tufts hasn't sent out an e-mail about this yet. Usually they're a little more on the ball...

Looks like they set out the e-mail last night.

There was a recall (http://auto-recalls.justia.com/content/91V145000-FORD-TAURUS-1992.html) of 1992 Tauruses, because of a problem with the hatchback/liftgate support mechanism.

Hard to recall a car that doesn't exist.

Hatchback or small station wagon? Not sure there's really much difference...

They really need to bring back the SHO!
