Hanging On Too Tightly

For some women, being attached to your purse is being taken literally.

In Lawrenceville, Ga. a man tore a woman's finger off during a drive-by purse snatching.

Caesare R. Pinkins, 21 was charged with multiple felony counts of robbery, aggravated battery and burglary and is being held in Gwinnett County Jail without bond.

He reportedly drove by a 55-year-old woman at about 2 p.m., swiped her purse and stepped on the gas, but one of her fingers was caught in the purse and was ripped off during the escape.
Surgeons were unable to reattach the severed finger.

The perpetrator also faces charges for an alleged purse snatching outside a Target store earlier in the month but there were no injuries reported in that incident.

I guess the moral is not to hang on too tightly to your personal belongings.

The other moral:

It's OK to give someone the finger...
