From the Brooklyn Paper:
“A creep ripped a woman’s diamond necklace — valued at $31,500 —
off her neck on the Q train on Jan. 3. The 49-year-old victim told
cops that she was on the Manhattan-bound train at around 11:45 am
when she noticed a sketchy character glaring at her. The victim then
stood up and pretended to look at the subway map, but the thug
approached her from behind, jabbed an object in her side and
whispered, “If you don’t want to be hurt, be quiet!”
The perp then ripped the necklace off as the doors opened
at the DeKalb Avenue station, apparently without alarming
any other straphangers, got off and vanished into the crowd. ”
MORAL OF THE STORY: Do not wear valuable items in plain view on public transportation.
That’s terrible! But what was she thinking wearing such an expensive necklace on the subway?
The so-called moral of the story is idiotic.
GOOD FOR THAT DUMB RUSSIAN HOE. LESSON LEARNED.
Why would anyone wear something that expensive in plain site on a NY subway? I smell a rat as in possible insurance scam or some other con.
