If you’re planning on heading into the Windy City to do some partying, be careful how much you drink because thieves are targeting drunks in Chicago.
Thieves Robbing Drunks In Chicago
In my younger days, I spent a lot of time in Chicago, especially on the weekends. I’ll admit there were a few times when I had too many adult beverages. Luckily, I was with a group of friends who tried to look after each other. We never had any problem besides a hangover the next day.
I have met plenty of people over the past few years who never go to Chicago. They are afraid. I understand. The Windy City definitely has a problem with crime. You just have to be really careful. That includes not getting all wasted and wandering around the city.
Thieves are targeting drunks in nice areas of the city where there’s a lot of partying going on. The suspects find a person who has been overserved. They pretend to be nice, then their crew jumps out and they beat up the victim to steal their stuff. The key is to keep yourself out of those kinds of situations.
