Mark passes on from the MBT listserv:

“This morning at 8:45 a man was exposing himself while standing in the middle of the trail, between NY Ave. & R St. NE. I saw something similar about a month ago, but it was not so obvious, so I didn’t report it. I called police this morning after I got to work. Please report to police if you see this behavior — if it is the same person he seems to be getting more bold.”

From an email:

“There is a black male, about 5’8”, wearing a light blue sky denim jacket and pants, jerking off in public on the NoMa metro platform. The WMATA police have been notified. According to a nice man I was with, he is around the area often. Please stay alert. I was sitting on one of the benches as he did this in my peripheral.”

“If you see a red Honda Ruckus with a Montana license plate”

By Prince Of Petworth

“Right after your post about owning a scooter too.”

“Dear PoPville,

Our much beloved Honda Ruckus was stolen last night from the corner of Summit Pl and Quarry Rd NW in Lanier Heights. I had a heavy duty Kryptonite lock/chain and the thieves cut right through it.

My boyfriend filed a police report this morning. Apparently, another scooter was stolen two blocks away last night on the corner of Summit Pl and Clydesdale. They smashed the area around the ignition, so I have a suspicion that it was some kind of scooter stealing ring that is only interested in parts. (more…)
