Stocky man steals woman’s purse as she shops in this brazen theft caught on CCTV
http://www.mirror.co.uk/news/uk-news/stocky-man-steals-womans-purse-6360860
When the 60-year-old victim leaves her shopping for a second time, the man pounces and can be seen quickly rummaging around in her bag, pocketing her purse and walking away
Too old to be a son of Obama. Maybe a cousin. Distant cousin, since this happened in London.
At least they said in the article the thief was black, though it was kinda apparent in the pics. Heh.

On the Atlanta news, he would be described as having a “dark complexion” or if under 30 years old, a “teen”.
It makes one want to beat the media to within an inch of their collective lives with an axe handle. If the ferals kill a dozen more news crews, do ya think the media would get a clue? NO.
It’s worth a try...
Years ago, I was shopping at the mall and three black girls snatched my purse while I was trying on shoes. - The mall cop caught up to them as they attempted to drive off the parking lot. - From then on, I only use bags with long straps that I can wear bandolero style. - (We had just sold our property & my checkbook had a very large balance.) One of the girls was a juvenile & the other two weren’t. Don’t know what happened to them; but the juvenile’s mother had to go to court with her. I did, too. The mother was hoppin’ mad - at her, not me. I told the judge I was only interested in the girl being rehabilitated, not in vengeance. The girl would be in her fifties now; so hope she grew up and got a clue.
Any woman who leaves her purse unattended in a shopping cart is asking for trouble. I have a shoulder purse, and that’s where it stays the whole time I’m in the store. I retired from NY’s prison system in 2003, and have never lost my security consciousness. When I first retired, if I saw that a woman had left her purse unattended in a cart, I’d identify myself as a retired correction officer, and tell her she was leaving herself open to become a victim of theft. Some of them were grateful, but others looked at me like I was the thief. I gave up on it after a while because some people just never learn.
Yep. Every time I go to the store I see a few purses left unattended in carts, sometimes their owners wander into a different aisle without their carts.
I usually mention it , if it isn’t inconvenient.
The responses vary. About 1/3 say “Oh good thought, thank you.” or similar. About 1/3 say “Mind your own )@#& business.”; and about 1/3 say “Que? No habla ingles.”
