Whoops!

Don't know how this one slipped past us. Don't know why the media isn't giving it bigger coverage either:

• November 16, 2009 (WLS) -- State Representative Annazette Collins was robbed at gunpoint by a masked man on Chicago's South Side.

  The legislator from Chicago was with her sister walking near 61st and Woodlawn around 8 p.m. Sunday. They told police a gunman wearing a black ski mask and skull cap demanded a purse. He took Collins' bag and fled on foot.

  Neither woman was hurt.

  Investigators say the theft happened in a courtyard that was unsecured because of a glitch due to the new area code that requires 11-digit dialing.

Just kidding! We know exactly why no one is giving this big coverage. And so does everyone reading.
