Dear Young Mugger in Davis Square

[aredridel.livejournal.com]

When you stole my phone from me, it was really a well placed snatch and grab. And you're an excellent runner, but it's really no excuse for stealing my phone right out of my hands. I was trying to get directions, and it's really a bit hard to do that when the place with the maps is being run down the street.

(Place: College just outside Davis Square. Time: 6:45pm Thursday night.)

Grr.

Have you reported this to the police? Registering your phone may also be a good idea.

I am planning to do that today!

He wasn't wearing a dark hoodie, was he?

[aredridel.livejournal.com]

Nope. White shirt.

One of the guys who broke into a car across the street from me last night was wearing a dark hoodie. What's the connection?

At the time a series of sexual assault incidents (http://boston.cbslocal.com/2011/11/17/assault-of-woman-in-somerville-may-be-connected-to-recent-attacks/) was going on. I was wondering if it was connected somehow.

I just came across this post also describing a dark hoodie:

Yes, that's one of the incidents mentioned.

As Ron asked, please report this. Reporting it might not get the phone back but could prevent further thefts- possibly catching said thief
