I thought the video linked below was interesting not because the dirtbag victimized a 91 year old lady (unfortunately I think that is too common to be remarkable), but because the video captured the entire mugging sequence -- mugger looking for victims, victim selection, stalking, mugging, escape -- and it is all fairly clear. In broad daylight. Usually the security cameras seem to only capture a small part of the event, and its too far away, fuzzy, dark, and crammed into the lower left corner or something.

An alert (or bored!) security guard monitoring security cameras at a museum noticed a pickup park in front of the museum and it piqued his interest. Happily he was able to pan and zoom the camera, so he followed the guy who got out of the truck, and stuck with him as he did more interesting things. Eventually the guy spots a couple older ladies getting out of a car, turns around and follows them, then grabs one of their purses, knocking down both ladies in the process (the younger one -- 67 -- got a broken arm). He then runs away. However, police caught him later in the day when he came back to retrieve his truck -- thanks to the security guard and his camera.

The mugger was recently sentenced to 6-15 years.
