This Week In Crime: Late Edition
February 18, 2011 at 2:29 pm
It's here! A few days late, but it's here nonetheless. Of course, I'm talking about the storied DP crime log. This week may not have been the stuff of legend (curse you, coat thieves!), but man was there a lotta theft - and pretty much nothing else.
In short, West Philadelphia was plagued by a higher than normal number of thefts this week: cell phones, laptops, bikes secured with freakin' cable locks - all were fair game! Since nothing stands out in particular, I'm going to list a bunch of advice that should help you avoid the myriad thefts that are going on all over this mess.
- Start wearing a money belt.
- Tie all of your belongings to your person.
- Wear roller blades instead of riding a bike (you never have to take them off!)
- Just start hiding your GPS if you keep one in your car.
