A thief who stole a bag from a woman as she returned to her 22nd Ave E home last Thursday morning will probably not find a very hot market for his pilfered booty.

In the June 10th incident, a woman told police she was on her front porch around 9:05 AM when a man approached her from the sidewalk and asked her if she had any gardening work to hire out. As she told him no, the man grabbed a bag hanging from the woman’s arm and sprinted off down 22nd.

According to the police report on the incident, the woman said the thrift store bag was “filled with plastic doggy bags (poop-bags), and a few dog treats.”

The woman described the man as a black male, in his 30s, nicely dressed, with a muscular build.
