Couple Walking in Dupont Circle Robbed of Canada Goose Jackets What started out as a leisurely stroll around the sites of D.C. ended in the 1800 block of T Street NW for the couple from upstate New York. By Derrick Ward, News4 Reporter • Published February 6, 2023 • Updated on February 6, 2023 at 11:54 pm Thieves have once again targeted people wearing Canada Goose jackets, this time, a couple walking around Dupont Circle who was visiting from out of state with their son. What started out as a leisurely stroll around the sites of D.C. ended in the 1800 block of T Street NW for the couple from upstate New York. “I’m an attorney from the south Bronx, living in rough neighborhoods in New York, so I thought I would be well-equipped,” Julian Kaufman said. But he and his wife, Sheila Kaufman, who were walking with their son, weren’t ready to be accosted at gunpoint in the middle of the afternoon. “And all of a sudden someone’s like, ‘Gimme your coat! Gimme your coat!’ And I thought, is this a joke?” Sheila Kaufman said. “And then he waved a gun by me… and I took it off and gave it to him.” The coats were Canada Goose. Coveted by criminals, there’s been a rash of robberies for the expensive outerwear. A Howard University student was also targeted for his Canada Goose jacket on Jan. 24 on Georgia Avenue NW. After Sheila Kaufman gave up her coat, another gunman went up to her husband and demanded his. Julian Kaufman said the gunman started counting down from five. He didn’t get to one before he handed over the jacket. “What’re you gonna do if you’re in that situation? You got a gun to your head, so,” Julian Kaufman said. The most compelling evidence police have so far is some Ring camera video that captured the moments just after the robbery. In video released by D.C. police, the suspects can be seen getting into a silver Hyundai Elantra and speeding off. Shiela Kaufman said their son had spotted two men “sitting in an alleyway with their ski masks on, and he said he started walking faster.” But the robbers caught up. “They were in and out fast, so they seemed to know what they were doing. I’m sure they’d done it before; they didn’t seem like rookies,” Julian Kaufman said. The escape vehicle was last seen headed north. The Kaufmans weren’t injured, but they were coatless and cold, and a little more conscious of the value some people put on certain jackets. In the meantime, authorities hope the video will lead to arrests.

Bum a*s New Yorkers think they’re bullet proof. They gonna learn today

NoWorries said OP is an angry incel It’s a cliche but it’s true, probably never been more evident than before now : misery loves company. Internet filled with miserable mfs who can only feel good about themselves by enjoying the misfortune of others.

Another one

biden era

Was in DC a few month back with the family. DC is small compared to NYC so we walked the city site seeing as we went.
They got a lot of homeless and poor folks adjacent to well to do areas. From the bus station to the area near where the wizards play is risky. Gotta keep your head on a swivel.

Glad I did all my sightseeing already

DC n*ggas out here stealing coats. bum sh*t

It's a cold world out there......

Oh, it's funny that tourists get robbed in the white part of town?

You realize tourism is the top industry in DC right? You think DC makes money on finance? Entertainment? Farmland? Being the political capital???

Nope. DC needs all the tourists it can get. During the anthrax scare, DC lost mad tourist dollars. If these folks find out they stealing jackets then they not going to be around until spring when it's cherry blossom season

DC has turned from sugar to sh*t since the pandemic. So many robberies and k*lling of innocence people. My co worker was k*lled last month delivering groceries for Amazon. sh*t is out of control here.

Sad story that barely got coverage

My mans back home been telling me DC been a warzone like open season type. sh*t is not sweet cause you in the 'Presidents' city. Unless your a*s stays on The Mall

Where they got hit ain't a bad area either but projects are like a stone throw away too.

new york staying rent free

blah blah blah said What are you babbling about f*g**t? Are you retarded?

are you retarded!?

NoWorries said It’s honestly probably professional services. Probably more lawyers per capita in DC than anywhere else in the country, maybe the planet considering how small it is compared to other large international markets. Throw in “consultants” and lobbyists and you’re talking about probably a billion dollar sector. Tourism is big but being the capital and seat of the national government requires a lot of private sector services to interface with the government. But yeah, OP laughing and acting like he’s from the streets is dumb as hell. Type of stupid you don’t even waste your time acknowledging directly.

That's a good take. Based on the figures alone though: "[the tourism] industry is the second-largest economic generator for [Washington DC]"
Those businesses are likely not paying much tax if any and same with their employees

But I do appreciate your point and pinpointing the exact numbers is going to require a solid 10 minutes of scouring the web

Son it’s just like BK it changes from block to block. I was just thinking about this sh*t the other day though. I don’t be out in the cold much but I stomp thru DC and NY to see fam a lot. I opted for the goose instead of the Moncler for this very reason. But I see the sh*t don’t matter out here. I got a Moose Knuckle too. But same sh*t. Nuccaz taking Marmots too??
