There are several e-mails floating around concerning an incident in the Preston Hollow area. I am told this one was forwarded from the victim. But keep in mind, I do not know first hand the exact details:
I was attacked yesterday at 4:00pm in our garage by a man that apparently followed [name] and I home from Whole Foods. I was standing in the open doorway waiting for [name] to exit the car when a man came up behind me, turned me around and punched me in the eye which knocked me into the floor of the back seat. As I fought back he punched me again in the mouth and continued pulling on my hand/finger trying to get my ring (yeh, the diamond wedding ring). I fought back screaming/kicking and [name] was up against the opposite passenger side door screaming & watching it all, unfortunately. He said “give me the f___ing ring” and I told him to just wait and I would give it to him. I did and he fled with it in no time. I couldn’t see out of my right eye due to the blood coming down from my wound. He was out of site in a flash, I ran into the house & called the police (our neighborhood patrol). [name] came in after me & dead bolted the door, smart girl! Paramedics came & cleaned tended to me & neighbors called [name] & he came home & took me to the emergency room. After CT scans for the face/huge lump on the back of my head and x-ray of ring finger, all is okay and only badly bruised. I received 3 stitches over my eye & pain meds and we came home 4 hours later.

WATCH OUT!!
At 4 PM TODAY, Wednesday, Nov. 28, a woman in the 6700 block of
Waggonner was apparently followed home from Whole Foods. She drove into her
garage, got out of the car, and a white Male (30 years old, 6′1″, 185 lbs.,
short brown hair, chiseled features, and very handsome) demanded her rings.
He then hit her. She did not see a vehicle. She called our Homeowners officer.

I heard tonight that a young mother was beaten in the alley as she
pulled into her Preston Hollow home. The robber was after her rather large
diamond ring. The lady was returning from Whole Foods, her child was
in the car.
I saw on nbc5i.com a report from the Dallas police about this story: http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/22039496
Take a look at the ring.
Steph, What’s the big deal? I have two of those.
