the ability to hold onto a purse for hours while a mob tries to take it from them!

LOL...well, their upper arm/hand strength was the result of all the hours of knitting and crocheting. (Not to mention years of handling Christmas fruitbricks,er..uh,...fruitcakes.)
Listen to the 'mustn'ts'. Listen to the 'don'ts'. Listen to the 'shouldn'ts', the 'impossibles', the 'won'ts'. Listen to the 'you'll never haves', then listen close to me... Anything can happen . Anything can be.

Just once I wanted to see one of those old lady NPCs wail on a thug with that purse...

And the NPC dialog that the devs stuck in, I think about a year before the end, where you'd overhear a group of Hellions talking, and one of them would be saying "I'm telling you, he _got_ the purse!", lampooning all the mobs latched onto the little old lady's purse for hours, unable to pry it loose.

I once saw a Skull sitting, holding a purse going "I got it!"

I saw purse snatchings.......plus some Tsoo trying to take away green glowing bags in Talos.
....never really understood what they were. ???

They were crystals not bags.  I believe they were relics since the guy on the other end of the tug of war was labeled "relic collector" or something like it.

Yeah, never could have been a bag.  I get a couple of 2 liter sodas from the store and that bag is gonna break.  >:(  No way it stands up to tsoo tug-of-war with the super-old-ladies.

Nahh, they just carried their stuff in shopping bags made of kryptonite. That's how you roll when you're a nerd in a comic book world. ;)
