Thief not only robs woman's car, he hits her with the door

Boston Police report that when a woman left the key in the ignition as she got her two young kids out of her car and into a stroller on Tremont Street in the South End yesterday, two punks slipped into the car and drove off (just as she got the second kid in the stroller:

The victim immediately phoned 911 to report the incident. The victim was then proceeding to BPD District 4 when she observed her vehicle traveling down Rutland Square towards Tremont Street. The victim stepped out towards the vehicle and yelled to the driver, "Give me my car back". The car thief then opened the driver's side door, striking the victim with it, as he passed by. The vehicle then proceeded onto the sidewalk and traveled down Tremont Street before turning onto Massachusetts Avenue.

"Numerous officers" flooded the area and quickly located the car and arrested: Raul Garcia, 40, of Boston on charges of larceny Of a motor vehicle and assault and battery by means of a dangerous weapon (car door); Stephen Mcaskill Jr., 35, of Boston on a charge of larceny of a motor vehicle; and Megan Dooley, 40, of Boston, whom police say slipped into the back seat who was charged with receiving a stolen motor vehicle.

If ever there was an argument for cutting the hands off of thieves, this bunch of low-lifes would be third on my list.

See, just because there are good restaurants in the south end, doesn't make it safe. Yes Boston is lovely but one should always be wary for low lifes live this, no matter how riddled a neighborhood is with imported proscutio and high end cupcakes.

Glad the mom and kids were alright. If it were my wife, I'd be out there with a baseball bat.

its kinda stupid to leave your keys in the ignition in the south End, or any part of the city, for that matter. Its all part of the suburban mindset that is infiltrating this part of the city in particular. Leave your keys in the iginition in Wellesley, not on Tremont Street.

Fortunately no one was hurt or worse!
