Today's criminal tip: If you're going to rob somebody from Craigslist, make sure he's out of shape first

Boston Police report a Dorchester teen never intended to buy the phone he'd agreed to from somebody he met through a Craigslist ad. Unfortunately for the kid, police say, when he grabbed the phone from the seller in front of the Loews cineplex on Tremont Street, where they'd agreed to meet, and then ran, the guy chased after him - and grabbed him at Charles and Boylston, where a passing officer noticed them grappling.

Steven Mejia, 19, of Dorchester, was then arrested on a charge of unarmed robbery.

Innocent, etc.
