Drive a 20 year old Toyota (like me)

Wear a lands end coat and have it not stolen (like me)

Use an android phone in public and no one even looks twice at it (like me)

Walk a mutt from the local shelter.

If you aren't styling and profiling, you have a much lower risk of getting robbed.

You could wear your designer clothes (at least in broad daylight as well as at night in well populated/nightlife areas) and walk a dog that you paid money for and have the latest iPhone and a new car … 10 years ago. It was a different place back then. What happened?

I went out a lot 10 years ago. Can't say that I remember anyone causally walking around in a mass market $2,000 Moncler puffer jacket.

Nobody cares about phones anymore. Your iphone isn't special.

Dogs though, that's messed up.

Nobody CARED about phones. That has changed. I was held up and gunpoint and told explicitly “I won’t take your wallet. Just your phone.”

And they specifically demand that you unlock it so they can have access to all your financial apps, Venmo, Uber etc. And why not? Most people have $10 cash at most in their wallets, if you steal a credit card I can call or go on my account online and cancel it so quickly it will never work. But they can do a lot of damage if they have your phone unlocked.

I was the victim of indecent exposure in an atm vestibule on Wisconsin Ave. early evening, a few weeks ago. Police came but did nothing, didnt even ask him to leave. The man basically lives in the atm vestibule. Still there tonight in his sleeping bag.

Hi, after we saw your post we have been calling in this person to 311 wellness checks every time we see him on our walks. My hope is that they actually move him into hospitalization (involuntary fine). As the victim of flashing myself as a child (traumatized) I feel for you and don't want my kid literally exposed to this man. She walks all the time to the Starbucks nearby. It is incredibly disturbing to me that he has not been arrested. Especially after the sex criminal attacked the daycare workers. Did you file a police report? Have you contacted Frumin? Have you gone to district 2 and reported this directly to the new police chief. Frumin is having some kind of community event this weekend and claims the attorney will be there. Please go and report this to all of them in person. This is not ok that he is still there tonight. You are the victim of a
sex crime.

Frumin knows about this. Of course, nothing has happened. He’ll probably end up as my new neighbor in my apartment building and live for free while I’m stuck in a $2500/month lease that a can barely afford. This city is crashing.
