Lucking Out
Police were summoned to Saks Fifth Avenue on Ring Road at about 1:15pm on May 30. A white male wearing a dark blue T-shirt, white shorts and white sneakers entered the store from the Prudential Center Mall and grabbed a green Gucci purse with three other pieces inside of it along with a sealed cardboard package which contained a ring.
The suspect fled the store with a nice little haul. The bag and the miscellaneous items are valued at $11,880, and the ring at $1,250.
Don’t Breathe the Air
There must be something in the air that’s lowering people’s IQs.
A driver parked his 2006 Subaru Tribeca B9 on Boylston Street to run into Chick-fil-A to pick up some takeout. When he returned a few minutes later, the vehicle was missing. The owner had the key in the ignition with the doors unlocked. The good news is he forgot to put the sign reading, “Please Steal Me”, on the windshield.
Thinking that the Transportation Department had towed his auto, he contacted the police. Would you believe they had no record of the car being impounded?
Wanna Buy Swampland?
Late afternoon on June 6, police responded to a larceny call at the Pru. Seems our victim decided to play a card game with some strangers. They told him that he could win some fast, untaxable money.
All it would take was $400 in cash which he readily entrusted to one of our card sharks. As her companion was explaining the rules, she left the scene into the shopping mall where our victim lost sight of her. As he was looking for her, can you imagine, our mark lost sight of the guy.
The female was black, about 5’7”, heavy set, wearing a black button-down shirt, blue jeans and cream-colored shoes. The man was light skinned, about 6’ in height, wearing a green Celtics “Tatum” jersey, and jean shorts.
There is a very definite, mercenary reason why we’re not given the victim’s description. We’re hoping to sell him some useless swampland.
I Don’t Know
A bike was reported stolen around noon on June 12 in front of Whole Foods at 15 Westland Ave. The victim had locked her bike to the rack outside the store at 11:30 to get some coffee.
Although the bike was worth about $1,400, she did not know the make or model, but did know it was black with a black storage bag on the front and a flashing red light on the back of the seat. Not quite a good enough description for our responding officers to broadcast an “all-points bulletin.”
