We love the adorably named "lushworkers," who work hard to keep NYC EDGY by preying on sleeping straphangers. The impish thieves (or so we imagine them to be, what, with that cute monikor of theirs) ruin commuter naptime by cutting their victims' pants and stealing wallets, cell phones, and whatever else one might have shoved in there. How do they get away with it?

Most or all of the victims were inebriated, police said. In 28 of the crimes, the victim was asleep on a subway car. One victim was asleep on a subway platform, police said, and another was sleeping on a station's steps.

And that's why it's always better to drunkenly vomit on the way home than drunkenly pass out.
