This also happened to a friend of mine on the square. Her wallet was stolen off the table where she and her family were having dinner! Really brazen stuff.
Maybe we need some Newport Beach PD to put an end to it.

Really though, the police dept should put out a news alert – it seems roving ne’er-do-wells are targeting the square as an easy mark.

Look above the IP restaurant, on the roof. Looks like a camera to me.

In the past year I’ve been more aware of snatch and dash type crimes around the Square — random things ranging from kids’ purses and phones targeted in the Chik-Fil-A to Avelino’s tip jar to this.
Which has gone up, crime or awareness?

I like the police presence on the Square (although I haven’t noticed lately and am not contradicting Brianc) and hope when I throw lazy children out of the house that the square is one of the safe walk/bike destinations. The front porch assaults are much more disturbing. Seems like we have to fight the reaction to never leave the house and never let your kids out of your sight.
