The Stick-Up

(Dayton,Ohio) This story demonstrates that no segment of society is ever free from victimization. It was reported to police that three boys were robbed at gunpoint while going door to door to make money shoveling snow.

The boys, ages 11 to 13, told police they walked up to a house near Harvard Boulevard and Catalpa Drive and asked a man who came to the door if they could shovel snow for $15. The man told them he was not interested.

The boys said a man who appeared to be 18 to 19 years old then emerged from behind the house, pulled out a silver and black gun and took $23 and a stick of lip balm from the three boys.

Sheeesh!
