ELMIRA (WENY) - Over the past month there has been a slew of purse robberies in the City of Elmira and Sunday it happened again in the Top's Parking Lot. However, this time the purse snatcher didn't get very far before he was tackled by a shopper.
It was a normal Sunday afternoon for Stanley Krizinofski who went to buy a soda at the Tops Supermarket on West Hudson and South Main Street in Elmira. As he walked out of the store, a little before 5 P.M., the next few minutes were anything but normal for the 21 year old. "I heard screaming and I looked forward and saw the guy running and stumbling. He was carrying a purse and kept running and I saw a jeep following him so I started my truck and started chasing him," explains Krizinofski.
After hearing the woman scream, Stanley says it was a natural reaction to start chasing the man running away. "As soon as I saw him running and heard a woman scream, I just acted. I felt it needed to be done," says Krizinofski. Once Krizinofski drove to teh end of teh parking lot, he says he got out on foot and chased the alleged robber across the street near Aldis.

"I shoved him down. He tried getting back up so I just held him down with one hand until an older gentleman pulled up in a truck and got out to help me hold him down. A minute later the police arrived," says Krizinofski.

Tanner had a plan and he told me to go order a hotdog then we would examine it to compare the hotdogs Robert is selling to the ones Tanner sells. I ordered the hotdog and Tanner noticed something ver familiar. “Aha, he is using my hotdogs because my hotdogs are the only kind that are made with cinnamon pretzel bread and my buns have a tiny T initial in the corner.” I was really impressed of how much detail he put in his hot dog buns.”The reason why I put that initial is because I know how to identify my buns if someone tries to steal my hot dogs again, because believe me this isn’t the first time someone has tried to steal my hotdogs.” At last, we finally found out Robert was the guilty one. Tanner and Mario got their hotdogs that were stolen back and Robert’s business was shut down. We realized that sometimes people do all kinds of crazy things to see people suffer in order for them to be happier, even if it’s not the right thing to

In trying to determine is a story is an urban legend or not, there are several different topics examined within the contents of the story. One of these is regarding how long the story has been around, for stories that are modern are what we consider urban legends and not folktales. A tale that has been around for a significant period of time, but what we would still consider ‘modern’ is “The Double Theft” from The Criminal Mind chapter. In this story, the beginning sentence is, ‘This “true” story was told to me back in 1970 in Silver Spring, Maryland” (Harold, 308). In this, it actually lists the year that the author originally heard the rumor, giving it the credit of being recent enough to count as an urban legend.

In the dark garden of olive trees across from the Temple Mount on the east side of Jerusalem, in the year which Caiaphas was the High Priest and Pontus Pilate was governor, men sat around half asleep, waiting. A few were sound asleep while others sat in small groups talking in hushed tones about what the rest of this holy week would hold. There had been much talk and speculation that their leader would be arrested or even killed. After the triumphal entry into the city cheered on by hundreds of thousands declaring him king early in the week, they were surprised at the quick turnaround of popularity. Now their master was openly scorned and threatened. All movements by him were done in secret for fear that an arrest or move against him by the rabbis would be imminent.
