Yep, it happened while I was home...I had left my purse near the window, and the curtains weren't closed enough, so a loser walking past took it as an invitation for an easy buck.
I had $9.75 in my purse - had planned to hit the ATM on the way home from work, and decided it was too late and probably not safe (hah). So the $100 I would have had there was still in my bank account!
The really scary thing was that about an hour later (I found out later), a guy matching the description of the fellow who robbed me did a home invasion burglary where a couple was home. He held a gun to the wife's head and made the husband give his ATM and credit card pins, and then took their car!
So far as I know, the cops never caught him but there was a guy doing similar burglaries, who looked somewhat like my guy (I really don't have clear memories of it, so if they'd brought someone too me, I doubt I could have picked him out of a lineup)...anyway, a couple of weeks later, this guy burglarizes a cop's home...while he was home! Poetic justice, because that dude's definitely in jail now!
(Oh, and where I live is in under my avatar, and like any larger city, there are better neighborhoods and worse ones...I'm in a middlin' neighborhood!)
