Muggers are always chicken-coward scumbags. They try to prey on people whom they think are defenseless. When my mom was a young woman, she and her older sister were out on the town together doing some shopping, and some criminal grabbed her purse and ran. However, her sister, my Aunt Jan, was a feisty one and chased after the mugger and tackled him and grabbed the purse back. Of course the wannabe thief ran off. So then they went to the police to report the incident, and the cop told my aunt, "Don't ever do that again. You could get yourself killed over a purse." He was right, of course, but I still think it's a hilarious story. That goober couldn't outrun a woman, and he got tackled by her. She gave him what he deserved.
