More PSP theft: 9 year old girl mugged for handheld

We almost feel like we've heard this story before. It seems as if the PSP is growing more and more popular in the teenage theft market. This time, we got wind of a 9 year old girl walking with some friends, carrying her beloved PSP with her. Sounds like a wonderful day in the park, yeah? Until the 16-18 year old male approaches the girl, kicks her in the leg, steals her PSP, and dashes off into the distance. That really is pathetic, though. She's 9. The kick was entirely unnecessary -- unless the guy really thought he couldn't overpower her. Foolish criminals.

I agree with Nick, I mean ... to kick a 9 year old girl just to take her handheld? It's totally nonsense. Let see, she would never catch him as she runs.
And yes! People do things like this these days, I never reveal my psp on the street, case i fear of anyone who hit me on the head to take. Just like I fear that after I catch him and kill him for that...

i once heard that one low-life man during xmass shopping time walked on streets to kick people on the back of head to rob them, he done this thing because he needed to support his family, so yes i don't bring my psp to streets also, and even i use to watch my back very often :)
