  A woman is standing at a bus stop at noon. A van pulls up. A young man hops
out of the van, grabs the woman’s purse, gets back into the van, and it drives
off.
          An elderly man is standing on the sidewalk in front of his home at 10:30
p.m. He is admiring the full moon. A car pulls up right in front of him and
stops. Two men get out. One man punches the old man in the mouth. The other man
takes the man’s wallet out of his pants. They get back into their car and drive
off.
          A woman puts her laptop and purse into her car in her driveway at 3:15 p.m.
She starts the car, and then remembers that she forgot to turn off the TV. She
goes back into her house, turns off the TV, and comes back to her car. Her purse
and her laptop are gone.
          The department of transportation built an elevated freeway on top of the
110 freeway in Los Angeles. The new freeway is supported by more than 100 thick
concrete columns. Since the freeway was built, each column has been tagged with
graffiti and repainted at least ten times.
          Late one night, someone managed to raise a heavy metal shopping cart to the
top of a flagpole outside a supermarket. The next morning, a 56-year-old
supermarket worker hooked up the US flag and started to raise it by pulling on
the rope. A second later, the cart crashed down on her. She was permanently
paralyzed. When released from the hospital, she told a TV reporter that she
forgave the culprit. “Please don’t do this again,” she said. “You might kill
someone, and that would be terrible.” A police spokesman admitted that they
might not ever find the “prankster.”
