Keep Austin Kind

This is neat. I got it from Metroblogging Austin, a really great local blog about all things...local: A police sting operation to catch purse snatchers was foiled when helpful Austinites kept warning the undercover policewoman that her purse was left unguarded. This from the meeting notes of the South West Area Command, Commander's Forum on January 28, 2008. "A purse snatching initiative was tried by the command, but happily, concerned folks kept warning the undercover officer that her purse was open, unattended and watched out for her when she walked away and warned her of the error. No arrests were made." It's a nice town! But don't move here, my rent will go up more, haha. Unless I like you. Then you can move here.
