My sister and her husband are huge Cardinal fans and upon leaving Busch Stadium following a night game they actually saw a woman get mugged. Luckily they only knocked her down and took her purse. My sister said the cops acted as if stuff like that happened around there on a regular basis.

Sure would be nice to be able to legally shoot the thievin' sons of bitches that stole that hauler!!!
