“Dear PoPville,
Sometime Saturday afternoon our house in Eckington was burglarized. An HP laptop, Acer aspire laptop, nikon d7100 camera and 2 lenses, plus iPad mini stolen. What’s most disturbing is that we were likely home when it happened- we batten down the hatches when leaving the house and there were no signs or evidence of a break in, just noticed that all my electronics in that room had vanished.
Security camera battery of course died, so we don’t have footage. Find my iPhone located my iPad in the projects on north cap and New York ave and of course the police have no interest in helping as the ‘building is too big’ to search. I also called around to pawnshops, and they say their database of serial numbers this linked to the police department. So, if the police actually input that information maybe that will help. I only care about getting my photos (and ideally files) back. They can enjoy my locked work laptop that’s useless and ancient iPad that’s locked as stolen…
Lastly, seeking suggestions on creating a fortress. We were quoted 11-16k for a garage door, which seems really high. Any and all advice welcome!”

Finding a gift for moms can be difficult. Google “Mother’s Day gifts,” and you’ll scroll through endless lists of beauty products, candles and fuzzy robes. Sure, those are sweet, but sometimes it’s fun to surprise loved ones with something a little more, well, practical!
Here’s one idea: Give her a gift certificate for a home cleaning from Well-Paid Maids. It’s the perfect “thank you,” “I love you” or “you’ve got this” for any mom. She can schedule the home cleaning at her convenience and breathe easy knowing she has one less thing to do.
Our cleaners will take care of everything, including vacuuming and mopping as well as cleaning and dusting countertops, tables, mirrors, appliances and more. Sinks, toilets, showers and appliance exteriors also get a good scrub.
