A reader reports:
“Our camera caught this guy stealing the bench right off our front porch after testing it out to make sure it felt just right . This is why we can’t have nice things (that aren’t secured by multiple locks…) The gall is amazing! Even the cops were like ‘whoa, that is nuts!'”

“Dear PoPville,
Saw “neighbor reports shoot-out on the 100 block of Bryant Street” on the Bloomingdale blog– from Nextdoor yesterday. Of particular concern is “Police told neighbors that crime scene investigators don’t show up to a crime scene unless there’s a victim,” though a neighbor found a shell casing.
Nothing like being gaslighted (gaslit?) by MPD.”
Ed. Note: The nextdoor report says that there was 5 shots fired from two cars (at each other) around 1:18pm. “Would it really require someone being shot to investigate?”
“Dear PoPville,
My backpack was stolen from my vehicle 11:00 pm September 4th on 5th and I Street, NW by prathers on the alley and Texas de Brazil. Khaki backpack with a black moleskine containing recipes and contacts and a black portable hard drive.
If found please email [email protected]
Thank you.”
