Today I was walking down a dark street when I heard a scream on the other side. I crossed to walk on that side. As soon as I crossed, two big guys jogged past and a young woman stood crying holding her shin about 20 feet away.
The two guys gave me a short glance before continuing running away. When they were gone I jogged over to the woman. She was pretty, and about 21.
"What's wrong, are you okay?" I asked. She nodded while still rubbing her shin.
"What did they take?"
"Everything, my purse, keys..." she trailed off.
"I'm sorry, but I was over there when it happened and...Do you need to call someone?" I held out my phone. She shook her head and took out a sidekick and started typing.
"Thank you, no I'm fine. They were following me the past few blocks, I should've known, thank you." I nodded and walked away.
This happened in San Francisco about 1 block away from Japantown.
Should I have tried to stop those guys? Did I do the right thing? I feel kind of bad.
