“Dear PoPville,
wanted to send a little alert to the popville community after an unfortunate incident this morning (Wednesday.) I was filling up my gas at the BP at 6401 Georgia Ave, NW.
There was a large SUV with tinted windows parked right next to me. When I went around to the passenger side to finish the transaction, someone from that car went through the drivers’ side and nabbed my purse and phone. When I got back in the car, I realized everything was gone (including my car key for my keyless entry vehicle). Super frustrating – I usually lock the car when I get out to pump gas, but for some reason just didn’t this morning – so wanted to share with folks to let them know to be really careful, even at 10:30 in the morning.
My phone was recovered a block away by a kind person who turned it into the police station, but who knows about the rest. If anyone around there finds a dark green purse with a partially finished crochet project, a probably empty colorful wallet, among other things – let me know :)”
