Sunday, September 15, 2002 AD There Goes the Neighborhood, Part 2 I found out tonight that there have been three muggings near my church in broad daylight in the last couple weeks. All three victims were women, and the motive in each case was clearly robbery. Our school's brand new second grade teacher had her purse stolen when she came in to work on a weekend afternoon. Oops...welcome to the neighborhood! A nun at the Catholic church down the street was wearing a hip-pack and wouldn't give it to the mugger. Not wise, perhaps, but feisty! And I can't remember who the third one was. When I think of how much time I've spent alone down there in the past few months, it makes me just a tad nervous. My car was already broken into three times this year while parked at the church. I'd really rather not have to deal with having my person attacked, too!
