Since the weather is warm , I decided to stay out last night… and I narrowly avoided becoming a victim of theft again.
About 3:45 AM I was sitting on a bench in front of the Moxy Hotel across from Court Square. I looked to my right and there was a man attempting to unzip my backpack and take the contents inside. I said, “HEY!!” and he took off north on Main.
Be on the lookout for a black male, early 30s, 6’3”, 240, camouflage jacket, medium complexion, curly hair. I got the feeling he was a seasoned pro at this type of crime and probably “works” the Main Street Mall a lot of nights.
Thankful to be safe and have all my belongings intact. And now, on to the news.
