This is getting ridiculous. Anyone who lives in Hoodbridge or Manassas by the intersection of Dale Blvd and Hoadly Rd... figured I'd let you know at about 7:20 PM tonight Wal-Greens got robed again for the 3rd time in as many months. Seems like them and the CVS across the street keep taking turns.

I was bringing some food home for my son. I figured I would drop my daughter off at home with my sons food instead of letting his BK get cold and dragging her to "another store" when she just wanted to be home. Turns out that last second decision kept me out of the robbery.

It only takes 3 minutes to get to Wal-Greens from my house. It was not even 8 minutes from the time I passed the store to the time I got back. I literally got there as the first 3 uniformed officers arrived.

For everyone who says "Wow, what a tragedy, but that will never happen to me."; I say carry em' if you got em... because the truth is really ""Wow, what a tragedy. That could have easily been me."

I live out that way too. It is amazing how many times CVS and Walgreens is hit. That Pizza hut is a target also. You would think the cops would set up a sting. How many times does it take before they do something?

I just moved out of Dale City back to Lake Ridge. I got my last prescription at the CVS there. Any description of the suspects? :whistle:

No info on the suspect(s). I got very little info from one patrol before another told me to "get in your truck and leave". Dude needs to switch to decaf or something.

Nothing in the paper or online last time I checked either.

I was talking to a buddy of my who is a retired Fairfax Patrolmen. He said when civilians kill armed robbers or other violent criminals, in the report he'd put COD as "Felony stupidity resulting in extreme blood loss".

I laughed myself into tears.
