"DALLAS – It hasn't been a good final week in the United States for Kathrina Heil.
The 28-year-old German national, here on a work visa set to expire shortly, was tossed to the ground in a violent purse snatching last Friday at the Galleria Mall.
"It's the worst timing ever. Seriously, I would've never thought something like that happens there," Heil said.
She says she was walking through the parking garage attached to the Nordstroms around 6 p.m. when she encountered a man who asked her if she had lost something.
"He had cards," she recalled. "He said, 'Hey, ma'am, did you drop something?' I looked at the cards very quick. And he said, 'Give me your purse!"'
That is when surveillance video provided by Dallas police shows a struggle that ends with Heil pushed to the ground, and her purse in the hands of the thief.
"He ran, got into a white car, and drove off with another man," she said. ................................................"
I wonder what "cards" means in this story?
