hawkegirl's green Chrome brand messenger bag was stolen along with her laptop and wallet inside. she's a regular at Diesel. she had customized the bag with green leaves.
yeah. americans on the whole are really, really trusting people. i wish i weren't so paranoid, but after travelling a bit and contending with scammers and pickpockets in other countries, i instinctively have a hand on my back pocket when riding the subway or going up an escalator, etc, and it amazes me how women here will leave their purses swinging on their arms, wide open so i can see their wallets inside, while they're facing the other direction, oblivious. i mean, i like that in america i don't have to constantly be on the defensive about getting ripped off, but i think sometimes people here take their safety for a granted a little bit.
