Good grip!
Heard all the yelling. Hope the vic is ok
I’m getting leery of the city that Walnut Creek is becoming. A lot of homeless and street people, and some spooky people prowling around. Constant purse snatchings, shoplifting, car thefts and break-ins .
Yes it’s trying to be glitzy and glamorous…. but these increasing trends are taking away some of the glimmer. We’d rather go dine and shop now in Lafayette or Danville.
I’m the near victim of the purse snatching incident on Cypress Ave in Walnut Creek.
My gratitude to the staff from the waxing/beauty shop came to my rescue. One brave
young woman from the shop came out with a hot curling iron. It’s good to know that
there are good samaritan in this community.
Glad you’re okay, that people stopped to help, that you were able to hang onto your purse… and that you took a moment to let us all know that you’re well!
