I seem to remember that crime goes up in University
City around the holiday season. I once witnessed a purse snatching while
waiting for a friend who lived around 45th & Locust. I remember that
it was in the fall and around thanksgiving. Maybe the holidays also make
people more desperate and more bold. Anyway, it is disturbing to
hear that these crimes are happening so close to home. From time to time I
do see individuals who appear to be casing the block. I usually make it a
point to stare at the person and let them know that they've been noticed.
It may not make too much of a difference, but I think that getting a good
description of someone lingering around might come in handy later or simply be a
deterrent.
