In retrospect, what happened to me yesterday is insignificant in light of what happened in the Boston. <br \/> Still, I feel the need to vent. And isn&#8217;t that what friends are for?<br \/> I was robbed.<br \/> And I am angry.<br \/> I was walking down a beautiful, leafy Atlanta street, talking on my IPhone. <br \/> Guess what happened next?<br \/> Three teenagers ran up behind me. One of them grabbed my IPhone. Stupidly I struggled to hold on-to it. But, he was a big guy. And he pulled out a chunk my hair. <br \/> I let go.<br \/> As he ran down the street, laughing, I hurled a few expletives his way.<br \/> I felt no fear at the time, I was just angry. Now I&#8217;m angry, shaken and sad. What a lousy life those kids have ahead of them. <br \/> Turns out, according to ABC news: &#8220;cities across the country are on alert as officials warn of an uptick in stolen Apple products, dubbed \u201cApple picking.\u201d<br \/> Thieves steal IPhones, wipe them clean, then sell them for up to one-thousand bucks.<br \/> So, a warning for you. Do not talk on your IPhone as you walk down the street. <br \/> Oh, and let go of the stupid device if someone tries to steal it. <br \/> Hope you join me at 9 and 10 AM ES. <span class=\"metadata\"><span class=\"powersd\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.socialditto.com\/\">Powered by socialditto<\/a><\/span><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/images.ientrymail.com\/socialditto\/facebook-icon.gif\" width=\"15\" height=\"15\" align=\"top\" alt=\"\" \/>&nbsp; <a href=\"http:\/\/www.facebook.com\/172143546163601\/posts\/559664884078130\" class=\"fbextra\">390 likes<\/a>&nbsp;&middot;&nbsp; <a href=\"http:\/\/www.facebook.com\/172143546163601\/posts\/559664884078130\" class=\"fbextra\">740 comments<\/a><\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>IPhone <a href=\"http:\/\/www.webpronews.com\/tag\/theft\">theft<\/a> is nothing new, and though thieves may be getting better at it, apps <a href=\"http:\/\/www.webpronews.com\/icloud-helps-kentucky-woman-get-her-stolen-iphone-back-2012-09\">such as iCloud<\/a> can help locate an Apple device once it is stolen.<\/p>\n<div class=\"feedflare\">\n<a href=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/webpronews\/all?a=OoSLzd33lvs:SE09QnJ8TSM:yIl2AUoC8zA\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/webpronews\/all?d=yIl2AUoC8zA\" border=\"0\"><\/img><\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/webpronews\/all?a=OoSLzd33lvs:SE09QnJ8TSM:wF9xT3WuBAs\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/webpronews\/all?i=OoSLzd33lvs:SE09QnJ8TSM:wF9xT3WuBAs\" border=\"0\"><\/img><\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/webpronews\/all?a=OoSLzd33lvs:SE09QnJ8TSM:7Q72WNTAKBA\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/webpronews\/all?d=7Q72WNTAKBA\" border=\"0\"><\/img><\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/webpronews\/all?a=OoSLzd33lvs:SE09QnJ8TSM:V_sGLiPBpWU\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/webpronews\/all?i=OoSLzd33lvs:SE09QnJ8TSM:V_sGLiPBpWU\" border=\"0\"><\/img><\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/webpronews\/all?a=OoSLzd33lvs:SE09QnJ8TSM:qj6IDK7rITs\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/webpronews\/all?d=qj6IDK7rITs\" border=\"0\"><\/img><\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/webpronews\/all?a=OoSLzd33lvs:SE09QnJ8TSM:mfZ73u_VV2s\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/webpronews\/all?i=OoSLzd33lvs:SE09QnJ8TSM:mfZ73u_VV2s\" border=\"0\"><\/img><\/a>\n<\/div>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~r\/webpronews\/all\/~4\/OoSLzd33lvs\" height=\"1\" width=\"1\"\/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A CNN anchorwoman was the victim of a brazen daylight robbery in Atlanta last week.
