pedestrian path by the 38th street LRT station. I was touched by your posts
and emails. Walking home from work the next day, I felt safer thinking of all
of you in your houses! I have a new appreciation for our neighborhood, and for
this group especially.
I hope to see everyone at the public safety meeting Thursday--I got the flyer
today (thanks, Shirley!).
Also, just an update for those of you who are curious--one of my neighbors saw
the girls who mugged me, and he saw them rifle through my purse in his yard.
They left my checkbook, so he was able to track me down. He also saw their
faces, which he is telling to the sergeant in charge of the case. The transit
police also called me and said they have the muggers on camera, and they are
also passing on that info to the sergeant.
I doubt they'll find the girls, but there's clearly a larger issue we need to
address about crime in the area. I'm grateful to live in a neighborhood where
incidents such as this get a response--thanks again for your thoughts and
(especially) action.
