A Non Millennial Robber

Can you imagine walking into a bank and expecting them to actually have cash? If so, you’re old and probably have never heard of Venmo or cryptocurrencies.

Imagine the surprise on the afternoon of April 26 when a potential bank robber told an employee at PNC bank at 729 Boylston Street “this is a robbery, give me your cash” and was told he was in a cashless branch.

The suspect was over 50 years old with grey hair (no surprise there as younger felons prefer computer hacking).

Trying to retain his honor, the robber asked for money from an ATM machine but was told “no, we don’t have the keys”.

After some well deserved swear words, our felon wannabe exited the bank probably shaking his head in disbelief. Think anyone believed him when he told this story to his buddies at the local pub?

A Terrible Owner

A woman’s leisurely walk on Newbury Street turned into a meet and greet with the Freddie Kruger of dog owners in the late afternoon of April 26.

A man parked his 2012 Subaru in front of 29 Newbury Street and exited with a small mixed breed dog who lunged at the victim and bit her left leg breaking the skin. The canine’s owner asked if she was ok but then walked away towards the Public Garden. He refused to identify himself or answer questions about whether his pet piranha was up to date on his shots (and I don’t mean the Covid vaccine).

Brotherly Love

Police responded to a larceny report at 143 Hemenway Street in the evening of April 30. The victim stated that her brother came for a visit around noon but that she took a nap around 3pm. Must have been a riveting sibling conversation.

When our lady awoke, he was gone as was $200 (in 10s and 20s) from her purse. She was unaware of where her brother lives.

We don’t know, but we do suspect that this is not a Norman Rockwell type family.
