The Guy Who Mugged My Dad on January 2nd

The Guy Who Mugged and Beat My Dad On January 2nd, 2010 in Los Angeles.


Hi:

I expected my new blog entry to be something about old movies or something; but life has just given me a topic, so let's call this posting a "special bulletin."

As some people already know, my dad, Bob Zigman, was mugged and beaten on January 2nd, 2010 during his Saturday morning walk. The police now have photos of the mugger, but still don't have his name. This happened near the corner of Santa Monica Blvd. and Doheny Avenue, close to Beverly Hills.

After the guy knocked my dad out and threw him in the bushes, he took my dad's wallet, and went on a shopping spree at a Walmart in Panorama City! The guy, all told, spent about $3,000.00 in more than ten stores. Weirdly: My dad's photograph was on the credit card; the people behind the counters must have been pretty dumb not to check the photo on the credit card against the guy buying the stuff. (This shows how dumb muggers are: If I stole somebody's credit card, I wouldn't waste it on Walmart; I'd go to a high-end place like Nieman-Marcus! But that's just me.)

My dad needed thirty-two stitches in his forehead, and his cheekbone was fractured in three places. Two separate surgeries were required.

Here are pictures of the guy, courtesy of Walmart's security camera, as well as a portion of the police report. If anybody's ever seen this guy before, let me know, or call the LAPD Tip Line (see below), because we still don't know his name. Pass this along.














If the police don't find this guy, I'll string his ass up myself.
