Kettering purse Snatching
My advice is...put a REWARD out on this garbage! Don't specify an amount. Just put some flyers,AD's out in BOLD,large print w/his picture, and the words, VIOLENT THIEF! His own gang-bangers and buddies will give him up w/in 48 hours!
In a N.Y .minute! OK?! The cops can't help. They are deCLAWED, and understaffed, etc. & busy eating DONUTS!
