Wal-Mart(ial) arts

Here's another report from a Wal-Mart parking lot in Murfreesboro, Tennessee (may seem like rather high-risk places...).
There are two contrasting sides to this incident.
First: The intended victim managed to keep her head cool, tricking her attacker to settle for her purse.
On the other side it is so typical (for women) to have everything but the kitchen sink in their purse. Not a big deal until someone gets hold of said purse.
The robber here now has (potentially) access to three homes, as well as credit information about the woman!

Story:
Tennessee -- A woman escaped an attempted kidnapping by a knife-wielding man Tuesday night when she offered her purse to the unknown suspect, Murfreesboro Police reported.

The 22-year-old woman was loading groceries into her car in a Wal-Mart parking lot at about 10:28 p.m. when the robber stuck a knife to her rib cage.

"He said, 'Don't scream. Get in the truck,'" the woman said. "He was trying to get me to get into the truck.

He wasn't after my purse. I was trying my best not to let him see that he scared the p... out of me. I tried to stay calm."

The victim told the robber that she had a purse with a lot of money in it, and the man took it and ran.

The purse held $26 in cash; a Bank of America ATM card; two Bank of America blank starter checks; a Tennessee Credit Union credit card; a driver's license; and keys to the victim's home and car, her mother's home and her boyfriend's apartment.
