Tall / short?

Beard / no beard?

Blond / dark?  (I know they had hoodies and it was dark, but maybe she saw their faces)

Shoes? Type? Color? Anything peculiar? Same for clothing.

Direction coming from and going toward afterward?

Did they say anything to her or to each other? Possible accent?

Were they carrying anything? Backpacks maybe?

What was taken and how? Possible fingerprints left on her items, purse or wallet?

Skateboard size and color? Fancy colored wheels?

Just some things that could help.

Also, since California has decided to deny its law abiding citizens the right to carry a defensive weapon, at least carry some mace or pepper spray or such. It may not have helped in her situation, since she was knocked down to the ground (right?), but it may help next time.

I don't remember how many times I've stated on this forum that it's so important to provide the community with as many details as possible regarding perps.

 

No description is really a disservice to the community, though sometimes there simply is no description.

 

If there is, please give it to us.

 

Remember to lock your bike and record your serial numbers on a cell phone, digital camera, or flash drive.

I have given you all I have at this point. Call it a disservice, but I am not going to hound a victim … they can give us all the information when they feel comfortable doing so as far as I am concerned.

New email:

 

She said it happened so fast. What she remembers is that they were both around 5'10 and about 175lb and that they were both wearing dark hoodies.

I think I was pretty clear in that if there is more information to make sure we disclose it.

 

I did not suggest that you should hound anyone, nor did I imply that you were providing a 'disservice' by not hounding a victim.

 

I was merely reminding posters to be as descriptive as possible so the community could be alerted to 'bad people doing bad deeds' whenever possible.

 

And of course lock your bike!

 

Just to clarify.

We saw a girl on a bike(in a skirt) at 2am last night from AK/California and turning left onto Hampton/Elecric headed towards Vernon. This gals was really drunk, I hope it wasn't her. She would have been coming from AK, not Main.   

 Anyway, no one should be riding alone at night it's dangerous. I hope she is okay and I hope they catch the guys because we and our friends ride at night all the time.
