That is so great! The little scumbag lives at 783 Washington Street. I can't find it on Google maps. Is it near Forest Hills Station?

Forest Hills is in the 3000s.

That address could be in downtown Boston, or in Brighton, or in Dorchester, or possibly a few other less obvious places.

[Ahem] My boyfriend was one of those samaritans. And a few days later, he ran into a burning house to wake people up. He is THAT fabulous.

Kid has a nice looking head.

I think that's great. But there's a poll on the Jamaica Plain Patch page and I was surprised to see a majority of people said they would react the same way. I'm pretty confident I'd jump to someone's defense in most cases in which they're being harmed. But I'm not sure a stolen cell phone is important enough to warrant risking a possible stabbing or worse.
