I found this story from our local CBS affiliate thought-provoking:
CHICAGO (CBS) — Police on Monday warned of a string of robberies in the West Woodlawn community, in which the victims may have been lured by dating apps.
The incidents all happened in the 6200 block of South Rhodes Avenue, police said.
One incident happened on Friday, Oct. 25 at 1 a.m., the other just an hour and 50 minutes later at 2:50 a.m. Another incident happened Wednesday, Nov. 13 at 1 p.m., and another on Saturday, Nov. 23, at 11 p.m., police said.
Police said victims may have been lured to the area by “social media dating sites,†though they did not specify which ones. In one instance, the victim’s car was taken, police said.
Get that? Old-fashioned hold-up men needed to seek out their victims. It’s much easier for modern felons. Their victims come to them.
We had similar when a man responded to an offer on something called Grindr, went to the mall at 2:00am, got punched and lost his cellphone. That victim reported it. I imagine many others don’t.
“Dating†apps. Snicker.
