The Rutgers University Police Department is investigating a robbery which
was reported to have occurred on April 20, 2015 at the intersection of
Road One and Cedar Lane in Edison Township at approximately 7:30 PM.
In this incident the victim, who is affiliated, reported walking near the
intersection of Road One and Cedar Lane when she was approached by two
juvenile females who pushed her and then sprayed her with mace. One of the
perpetrators then removed the victim's cell phone from her pocket before
they both fled down Road One towards Road Three. The victim was
transported to a local area hospital with non-life threatening injuries.
Holy CRAP, you know I can almost (but not quite) see that corner from my dining room window? At that time I was playing with the kitties before dinner. This is certainly one more reason to get the HELL out of this neighborhood.
Oh and slight picky thing - unless she was further down after the sidewalk ends, it's technically either Highland Park or Piscataway, not Edison. Not that it makes it any effect on the crime itself but HP needs to recognize problems over here.
It's like when I came out one morning and found a bullet hole in my car - we'd had a high speed police chase the night before. Found the bullet half a year later. Crazy old world.
Oh geez, that's scary. Then again the place I lived when I first moved here was worse. I had a known crack dealer for a neighbor and one time the night before my parents arrived for a visit, there were gunshots in the parking lot behind my apartment.
Strangely enough (and I'm not saying anything in specific), but since then, they haven't been able to keep a renter in that apartment for more than a month or two.
Just explain it as a "disturbance in the Force" ;)
edit: I hope you do find a better place.

Oh and alas, I'd look quite absurd in Catwoman wear. I'm rather apple shaped lol
