Dedham Police report a guy already wanted for snatching purses from careless senior citizens at supermarkets in Dedham and West Roxbury is now also wanted for grabbing a purse from an unattended shopping cart at the Dedham BJ's on Dec. 2.

Police say the guy - whose picture is a bit clearer this time - used the victim's credit card shortly after at the CVS on Centre Street in West Roxbury.

At least they're not forgetful!

Clearly an apartment dweller

This is exactly what the Lagrange St. development protesters were so worried about.

You are joking, right?

Are you seriously inferring that those who live in apartments are more prone to criminal activity or, worse even, by and large criminals?

Yes, joking

If you recall, the people who got so mad about the proposed apartment complex seemed to believe that more apartments in West Roxbury would be the end of days.
