This just goes to prove that the downtown area is not safe at any time of day and should be avoided at all costs. Signs should be posted at every entryway to downtown ... DANGER ... ENTER AT YOUR OWN RISK. The  criminal element has taken over the downtown area just as it did the south side.

Mr. There,

Did you hear about the North Phelps Street businesswoman who had her wallet stolen?  That makes three thefts in recent weeks.

Being serious:

Incidents like these can happen anywhere at any time, and it's up to each and every one of us to take personal responsibility for our possessions, and make no assumptions of the honesty of others.

We do not here know the whole story concerning any of these thefts other than the fact that they happened.

Everywhere I ever worked each employee had a locker and kept our valuables in them, and never allowed them to lay around where someone could steal them.

For those places where lockers are not available, there is always some place that can be kept locked or in a location that can not be accessed by non-employees ... a desk, a lockable room etc.

There is no excuse for anyone to leave valuables unattended for any reason especially purses that have money, credit cards, cell phones, check books, or ID cards in them.

For my part, I trust no one until they prove to me personally that they can be trusted, and I make no exceptions.
