Taking Crime Purseonally

Basic easy to snatch purse



Suspect poses for photo with women shortly before robbing them

Just when I begin to think people can't get any dumber, something like this happens. It's one thing to try and grab a purse, but is it really a great idea to pose for a photograph with your intended victim?

Seems our pal Andre just couldn't resist jumping into the shot when the bar bachelorettes he was harassing snapped some pics. Then later when he made off with the purse, they recognized him and showed the cops his picture. It's important to recognize the difference between cooly studying your prey's actions and acting like the drunk jackass people always remember.

It might have been a good idea to steal the camera too. Andre might be a free man right now if he had. Don't get me wrong, I am not condoning the crime. I am however, applauding the thief's total bozoiciousness. How inept does a guy have to be to fumble a purse snatching? This is probably the simplest, almost completely risk free illegal act there is, and this mook screws it up. Is it possible he's a recent SDSU grad?

There's an obvious moral here, and maybe Andre will take it to heart: don't try to save time by letting your victim take your mug shot. The rest of you, beware. They are coming up with new crime-fighting techniques every day; it's just a matter of time before the next petty thief gets bagged.
