Ever read a police report, especially when you were a victim or witness?
My spouse...
If someone’s not watching these boxes, they are going to get swiped *so fast.*
People have been “donating” their cell phones and other portable electronic devices at Metro stations for some time now.
But no one will sucker punch you for the phone- you now have the convenience of putting it in the box!
On a side note — there is now cell service in the Petworth metro!!
Love the photo!
Ha! that’s my most famous photo, with like 10,000 views on flickr and more than 25,000 on tumblr…
