A 49-year-old woman who is mentally challenged was knocked down and robbed of her purse on the 7000 block of N. Glenwood by a man in his late teens around 9 p.m. Sept. 5.
Police received a call of a person calling for help and a description of two men running westbound through the alley of Greenleaf. Police located the victim at a residence for the mentally challenged. The victim told them that a man grabbed her purse which contained $8 and threw her to the ground. Her purse was later recovered by a citizen on the 1300 block of W. Greenleaf who found it underneath a car. Source.

Personally, I feel that stretch of Glenwood is becoming quite smarmy...just too many (anything more than ONE is too many) incidents along Glenwood from Touhy to Morse this summer. You live nearby, Craig. Any suggestions for a lone female just walking to do the grocery shopping?
It's a lonely stretch, frequented by a lot of scum.
Grammer, I'd suggest a big can of mace and your running shoes. Toni says there is a good mace store in Lincolnwood.
And don't forget to keep your eyes pealed behind you once and awhile as you're walking.
Buy a gun. If the gangbangers can have them, why can't we?
