What is Safe Anymore?

So last week, it was crazy around the newsroom. Several reporters were out of town for various reasons, and it left us working hard to get as much news as we can to present to our faithful audience. (Go ahead pat yourself on the back, you just got a shout out on this blog. You are THAT special.)

One of the many stories I crossed was about a women who was robbed. Typically a story we'd look into no matter the day, but in our search for news it definately fit. The women, according to the police report, says she was hit in the head by another women, and then had her money stolen....wait for it...from her bra! WOW! What is safe anymore?

I mean, gone are the days of pinning your emergency money in your underwear. If that's where your's is now...go on, you can change it. We won't tell. Unless you end up like this unfortunate victim. Then it becomes news. (DISCLAIMER: If you are the victim, I apologize. I do not wish to cause you any unnecessary embarrasment. But it is rather unusual.)

So the question everyone raised when I shared this story was, "How'd they know it was there?"
Answer: I don't know...I wasn't there. My guess, the money was visible. I know, I know I'm a regular Sherlock Holmes. (Sweet a literature reference, this blog is getting classy!)

Anyway, the whole thing is rather strange...do you think the robber thought twice about going in for the cash? Better yet, you think they apologized, like they do in the movies? "I'm sorry I'm gonna do this...but I gotta.."

And if you were the victim...what would you do? Where else can you hide your cash and think no one will know?

It's odd, but it's true. So you tell me, what is safe anymore?

Like the blog? Want more? Leave me your thoughts, and I'll work to bring you more of my thoughts from the newsroom.

Thanks for watching and reading!
