To Catch a Thief (And Do Nothing About It)

...but as it turns out, you're just a fucking bitch.
Strong words from someone who saw the theft ans let it slide. Did the perp offer to split it with you?
2
From the way you claim to have approached this person, it sounds as though you're a little jealous you didn't think to do that first.

I assume IA didn't actually talk to the perp but has excellent revisionist conversational skills.

I would say this must be Mudede feeling guilty about watching his neighbors get robbed last year as he sat with smug satisfaction, but the writing is much better than his, and the writer seems to have some ability to feel shame.

Was the hallway sex hot?
6
What about IA attracts such insanely judgmental commentary? Was this one supposed to go Bronson on the thief's ass? Was the sober dad from a few weeks ago supposed to say nothing? And if all of them are pussies or passive-aggressive victims why read this column at all?

Finders keepers, losers weepers

If you see something, say something... a few days later to I, Anonymous.

Why was IA washing her hands in the hallway?

@9 - Hard to tell if LW is describing the crime scene exactly, BUT; there's are bars and clubs with sinks for washing one's located communally outside their respect toilets.

Where is Phoenix Jones when you need him?!?!

The problem with this bitch is that she was SO FUCKING HIGH on COCAINE and MALT LIQUOR that she simply didn't realize that she should have said something, like a normal human FUCKING being.

As it is, she is NO BETTER than the fucking thief.

I just have one question for the "I, Anon" - Since you are a crack whore, when you fuck a "John" do you charge extra to supply the condom? And, how much extra to swallow?

Jesus.

This whole scenario is fascinating. I assume everyone involved is drunk and probably high on something. The wallet belongs to the girl participant in the couple grinding action. They're going at it so hard they don't notice another girl not just pick up the wallet but also carefully separate the big bills from the small. Our hero witnesses the entire thing, asks the thief how much she got and still the grinding couple is oblivious. Our hero apparently isn't satisfied by the thief's response but does or says what at that point? A lot of coulda, shoulda, woulda, Weird scene, all that.

If this were a Woman of Color, all you racist crackers would be screaming “See? See? You can’t trust a Nigger”.
16
Someone sounds jealous the "bitch" didn't share.
18
If "grinding" in public is acceptable, why not blow jobs and fucking? It's only SEX, you prudes...

A properly-cautious romantic interlude en público "entails", if you will, at least a "modicum", if you will, of presence of mind so as to maintain the moment's afterglow and forestall any semblance of regret, especially in the form of: "Oh Shit! I was so busy getting off, I didn't notice I was getting taken!"

A rookie move it was, to be sure, but here's to hoping it was sweet, young, hot rookie love –and that "in the end", if you will, it was well worth it.

Cheers.

And video? I want shaky iPhone video the dude porking her against a wall with her skirt up and her panties around her feet, in Belltown half a block from some trendy hipster bar.

@6 Dunno about anybody else but I read I, Anon to laugh at the trailer-park antics of scummy people with bad life skills.

You can be their defender if you wish.

BTW: Shouting, "hey, quit stealing that girl's money!" would have been the obvious decent thing to do. Letting the girl know she dropped her wallet would have been even easier.

Please wait...
