Pickpockets are targeting elderly people on Upper West Side buses. In the 20th precinct, 11 cases of pickpocketing on buses or at bus stops have been reported this year. “Pickpockets have struck on the M104 and M7 lines twice each, and once each on the M66, M57, M2, M79, M11 and M86 lines.” No physical force was reported. I literally just read a Saul Bellow novel that started out with a pickpocketing on an Upper West Side bus. (DNAinfo)
