Just when you thought small towns were safe.... Friday 2/21/14 at about 9:26 PM two women here in Jordan were robbed at gun point while shoveling snow.
Exactly why I carry even at home in the yard and or in my garage.

Two women at the same location or two separate incidents blocks apart?

Same residence. A mother and sister in law.

The story I read the other day was the robbers got away with 600 bucks while the women were shoveling snow. I'm guessing it was more then a random robbery.

When I'm blowing snow & shoveling, I don't have any wallet or cash on me.

Yes, maybe more than a random.

I live about two miles away and it was at the trailer park. Now I'm not labeling but who carries that much cash while shoveling snow or did they exaggerate in hopes of getting that an

I'm the same way. I fell the most vulnerable around my home when I'm out clearing the long public sidewalk out front. The snowblower requires a fair bit of attention, particularly with some of the heavier snowfalls of late.Sometimes I'm forced to do it at night. It would not take much for a car to roll up and surprise one.

Who said they were shoveling snow? $600? Sounds like some drug dealers got robbed.

That was their statement to the police according to the paper.

I agree. Who carries that much cash shoveling snow? Either they're lying, or criminals themselves would be my guess.

I suppose I'd say the same thing................ if I was a drug dealer.

I haven't seen the paper's report but I suspect the make up of Jordan's trailer park is very similar to Chaska's- predominately Hispanic. Many work for cash or cash their checks soon after being issued and do not have bank accounts so often have a fair bit of cash on them. $600 sounds like a week's work at a fast food establishment for two people or two weeks pay for one. This distrust of banks is common for many recent immigrants which is a factor in their frequent targeting for such crimes.

I guess I never thought of that.... When I lived in FL there was a large population of people from S America. They were a very small people who for that reason always carried cash. They were targeted until they started always staying in large groups.... ( number not size lol )

I work with about 100 Mexican's and most of them have a pocket full of cash especially just after payday, its how they operate.
