“Dear PoPville,
In light of the PSA you shared on 1/13/23, I wanted to let you know that my lock box was broken into on 1/17/23 (possibly 1/16/23). The plastic on the facade was cracked open (somehow), keys removed & MIA, and shoved full with toilet paper?! My lock box was a generic brand. Notably, my neighbors’ MasterLock lock boxes appear to be untouched. Don’t know if that really means anything but I will be upgrading!”

“Dear PoPville,
A warning to my neighbors in Park View, someone’s been cutting into lock boxes, be careful! :( This is on Lamont St.”
J. writes from Truxton Circle:
“New Jersey Avenue and Q St NW. right across from The Garden.
The city changed the traffic configuration on New Jersey Ave about 3 months ago and installed a few new permanent parking spots across from The Garden. It looks like someone drove straight into a parked car last night which then caused the parked car to slam into another parked car. It appears as though the driver backed up and took off, but left part of their front bumper in the process.”
