Philly Blogger Intervenes in Street Crime

Phillybits:

It was at this moment that I realized what I was witnessing was a brazen daylight robbery. I didn't know what this man had stolen but from where I was, it looked like perhaps a piece of electronic equipment. With my backpack strapped to my back, and my bike left unlocked outside the coffee shop, I just took off after this guy. Didn't think twice about it and just started huffing it as fast as I could after this guy.

I turn East on Pine St. and see the guy still light-footing it and I start all-out chugging down the street, trying to catch up with him. Thinking back, didn't even stop to think what I would do if I managed to catch up to him. He could have had a gun, he could've tried to assault me. I was really just hoping that whatever he had grabbed, he'd just drop it to shed a little weight and perhaps get me to stop chasing him. But he didn't.
