Top notch judgement and quick thinking resulted in a citizen using his cell phone to bust a bad guy.
The Payless Shoe Source located at 2555 Ellsworth Road was being robbed by a very bad man with a handgun. A customer inside the store snuck out and used his cell to call police and give a description of the robber. Police were able to use the description and pull the guy over near Hewitt Road and Michigan Avenue and slapped the cuffs on him.

This gutsy citizen's action is even more impressive when measured against the fact that this criminal must have been Pretty Darn Smart--
After all, what potential robbery site could be more lucrative (sound of a cash register ringing) than one whose sign says "PAY LESS"? Oh yeah.
LOADS of dough re mi in a PAYLESS right dixit?
Yessir. That would be the first place I'd hit before my next multi-state Pulp Fiction-style crime spree, absolutely. (Plus comfortable and stylish, yet fleet, getaway shoes are important).
Yep, Payless, and the little "Hunt 'n Bass" bait shop on Michigan Ave. opposite Bill's coney island joint.
(Does anyone realize what red wrigglers cost these days?! That place must be the Fort Knox of worm merchants!--of course, I'd also hit the bait vending machine out front)! --ypsidixit
