I've seen this before too. I may have already told about this incident, but it won't hurt to mention it again.
I was in a subway station in Boston. Bunch of people were scattered about waiting for the train, nothing unusual.
This group of kids (Roxbury isn't far away) comes down the stairs and starts eyeing people. I give them this shit-eating grin (try it,
please!); they move on.
Until they get to the bench. There are three people on the bench. They grab the purse from the middle one, a woman, and do the tug-of-war thing with it, get it, and run. The people on either side of her didn't do anything. Maybe they were just slow on the uptake, I can't say.
When I got back from chasing these assholes, I heard her (victim) say that she'd
just finished replacing the stuff from the
last time this happened! (sigh)
