Woman mugged at gunpoint on her front steps in Charlestown

A correspondent passes along this report from a friend of his who lives near the Monument in Charlestown:
Yesterday I was robbed at gunpoint at 10:20 am on my front steps in Charlestown. I am okay (just badly shaken up) and fortunate that the predator did not force his way into my home since I had my keys in my door lock.
Please keep your guard up at all times of the day and in all neighborhoods. No neighborhood or time of day is immune from increased crime. One of my neighbors informed me that she was pick-pocketed by a pro a few days ago on Federal Street. She lost her wallet and blackberry. Within 20 minutes, there were significant charges on her credit cards.
