“Dear PoPville,

Last week, a horrific crime was committed when two Ken’s and their boat were snatched from their perch in The Barbie Pond. While not returned, there has now been a “Ken sighting” (see below). I request, however, for the safety of all involved – including the Ken’s – do NOT try to get them back. Just wanted to provide this update for the two or three concerned citizens. 😀😀😀”

“Dear PoPville,

I just wanted to share a fantastic experience with Third District Police and Officer Perry Morgan Jr.

I had grabbed a Capital Bikeshare from the park at 3rd and Elm and only realized when I arrived home that I had left my fob and keys dangling in the original dock (what an idiot). Luckily I have an extra set in a lock box so was able to quickly throw on my running shoes and jog back over to try and recover them. Once there, it was clear the keys were gone and I turned to run back home empty handed. I then noticed a cop car idling next to the park and decided to make a last resort effort and asked Officer Morgan if anyone had turned in any keys, which unfortunately no one had. I again turned for the dejected jog home, when Officer Morgan called out and asked for my name and contact info. I gave the info to him with no expectation that I would ever see the keys again.

Astoundingly, about an hour later I got a phone call from Officer Morgan saying that he had been able to retrieve my keys from some kids that had found them and decided to take one of the bikes on a spontaneous, and likely indefinite joy, ride (of which I got email confirmation from Bike Share saying I had an open-ended trip past 30 minutes). Ecstatic, I asked where I could come pick them up, but he refused and insisted he would drop them off at my apartment. Shortly afterward, Officer Morgan had delivered my keys and explained that he and seen some kids hanging around the bike dock, found them nearby, and bartered with them for a pizza tomorrow (which he refused to allow me to pay for) if they managed to “find” my keys, which they managed to do in quick order.

From ANC 3C09 Commissioner Nancy MacWood:

“I am including the official police report so that the facts are clear and as complete as possible at this time:

“MPD is currently investigating an Armed Carjacking (Gun) that occurred in 3100 block of 36th Street, NW in the Second District at approximately 10:50 PM last night. The victim reported that he was sitting in his vehicle at the listed location when he was approached by three suspects, at least one of whom was armed with a handgun. The victim was forcibly removed from the vehicle and thrown to the ground. One of the suspects stole the complainant’s wallet and attempted to steal his phone. One of the suspects fired a gunshot in an unknown direction while fleeing. The suspects then fled in the victim’s vehicle and were last seen traveling eastbound in the 3500 block of Lowell Street, NW. The victim was obviously a little shook up but he did not report any physical injury and refused medical attention from DCFEMS on the scene. Responding officers broadcasted a citywide lookout for the victim’s vehicle which was later spotted in the Seventh District on Southern Avenue, SE. Seventh District officers attempted to stop the vehicle at which time the vehicle fled and crashed into another vehicle in the 1500 block of Mississippi Avenue, SE. The occupants of the vehicle then fled on foot and escaped. This case is currently being investigated by detectives from the Second District. Anyone with information about this crime is encouraged to call 202-727-9099 or text to #50-411. The report number for this incident is 18-012-329.”
