Sorry to hear your wife was the victim of petty theft, but that event could have happened in any city anywhere. You certainly have to be more vigilant and cognizant of your personal belongings in urban areas, even those perceived as safe.

I've heard of purse snatchings in Atlanta.

Chicago does not have the type of aggressive panhandlers or street performers that I have seen in other cities.

Why complain about people not doing anything when you did nothing? It is your wife after all.

It appears you are disappointed in the people of Chicago for not coming to the aid of you and your wife but what did you want or expect the 'people' to do? Do the people of Atlanta regularly participate in the apprehension of petty thieves when someone is victimized?

When I was in Barcelona, I set my camera on a table and the waiter made me hold it because he was afraid that someone would snatch it off the table and run. That didn't make me fear Barcelona extra.
