A real PSA:
Since I know a lot of us frequent this area I thought I'd post it here. Please feel free to repost any of this. This message went out on the Harvard Employees mailing list this afternoon:
On Sunday, September 14, 2008, a female undergraduate Boston University student reported to the Harvard University Police Department that she was the victim of an unarmed robbery while walking down Garden Street at approximately 9:15 PM. The victim while traveling from Currier House to the Harvard Square MBTA station was struck from behind by an unknown individual. The victim could not definitively state where the incident occurred. After being struck the victim fell to the ground. The victim did not witness who attacked her and did not hear anything, as she was listening to music. The suspect fled the area after taking the victim’s iPod, digital camera, cash, and a wallet. The victim was not seriously injured and declined medical attention.
And this went up to the same list on friday:
