U-District folks who aren't students or on-campus anymore might not have caught this - A group of teenage girls have attacked and attempted to rob at least three women on the #73 bus line last Friday.
The attacks listed were at 58th and Cowen, 45th and 16th, and up North in Lake City, so it's probably worth being wary of girls (described as "well-dressed" by the victims... which to me says "jackass frat-girls, not the Ave rats, who would at least have a reason to mug people other than petty malevolence and a desire for more Abercrombie shit - more's the pity, IMHO) along that whole route for a while.
Anyway, for you folks who still go around that area a lot in the evenings, be careful!
Between this, shootings, a foiled stranger-kidnapping of a 5 year-old at Pike Place over the weekend, tourists getting beat up in Pioneer Square, the brainless murder/suicide of that guy and his 5 kids east of the mountains, and the moron who brought his little girl with him to rob a convenience store... anybody else feeling that Seattle, or, more likely, the whole state needs to get its head on straight? Bleh.
And, while I'm passing around warnings, an article about schemes using peer-to-peer software (which I'm sure no one here uses, of course) to steal personal information from computers. Especially pertinent for parents of kids who might be downloading, since that was apparently this asshat's special target - since the kids are using their parents' computer, it was a perfect bypass, sounds like. :P
