Flash Mobbery Chicago: Elderly Woman Robbed of $100,000 of Jewelry on Mag

A black flash mob told an elderly woman to give up jewels or get a beating.
They made off with $100,000 worth of jewels in the robbery.

CBS Local reported:

An elderly woman was confronted on the Magnificent Mile by a mob of young men on Wednesday, who proceeded to take $100,000 worth of jewelry she was wearing. A Chicago police source said the 69-year-old woman from Homewood Flossmoor was accosted by 10 to 12 African American men while walking in the 700 block of North Michigan around noon in front of Saks Fifth Avenue.

They threatened to beat her if she didn’t give them her purse and jewelry.

She took off her jewelry, valued at around $100,000, and handed it to them.

According to police, the woman had a leaf-shaped pin she was wearing that was encrusted with diamonds and surrounded by black onyx. That alone was valued at $50,000.

The men involved were between 18 and 19 years-old. They were wearing baggy pants and dreads. They ran northbound on Rush towards Chicago Avenue to escape.

Although I don't consider someone being 69 year's old 'elderly', I do however consider her a complete idiot for wearing that much expensive 'bling' in public.

Especially, not only in this economic climate but also it is just plain stupid and yes, stupid should hurt.

She is either completely stupid for flashing her shining stuff around or she knew she would get jumped and was hoping to collect on insurance. That sounds more plausible to me. V

Gonna be a loooong hot summer...

Wearing $100k of jewelry in that area? While I feel for her somewhat, she kind-of got what she deserved. You don't wear expensive things in a city full of GIBSMEDATS...

Just wait till the public K-12 schools let out, then we will see how bad these violent mob actions become.

I was in Chicago once. It was during winter. Because of the weather, it was a great time for sight-seeing the Loop region. Apparently, GIBSMEDATS don't like the cold.

People have been snatching real gold chains and necklaces off people on the street for at least 20 years now. I remember reading articles in the paper about it.
Nobody around here wears real jewelry out in public if they have half a brain.

There is nothing I own that is even worth $100,000 bucks. Let alone it fitting on me.

But I would also venture to guess that if she went to every pawn shop in the area she’ll probably find her stuff.
