“Dear PoPville,
This issue started for me in October, when I woke up one Monday morning to an email from my bank saying my checking account had a low balance. But how could that be, I just got paid from my two jobs on Friday? Ultimately, a check I wrote to a nonprofit was intercepted in DC, never made it to its destination, and we didn’t know how the check got into the wrong hands.
Flash forward to 11/7, I’m working from home next to my window that faces our cluster community mailbox. There is one on my side of the street and one directly across 3rd place, both within view of my window. I happened to glance up and notice a person dressed in all black, with their hood up, and a COVID surgical mask on (solo an outside mind you) check the mail of the box on my side of the street, and then go to the other side, and check that box. I thought, why would someone have a key to two mailboxes? I then realized the person hadn’t opened a personal mailbox compartment, but the outgoing mailbox compartment where letters are placed for pick up. And they had a key. Voila – I got my answer to how my check was stolen. (more…)

“Free2Move, Not a drive through liquor store.”
“The owner (of the liquor store) is a great guy who always cheers everyone in the neighborhood up. Hopefully the community can help when he reopens” (more…)

Thanks to all who messaged me about this dangerous driving post yesterday – the victim reached out and shares the incredibly upsetting story:
“These criminals attacked me and my family yesterday in Bloomingdale. They beat us up (while I was holding my 2 year old daughter). Busted my lip and choked me and punched my husband in the jaw. My other daughter was in the stroller unharmed. A neighbor heard us screaming and saved us! They went on to hold another woman at gunpoint shortly after, and then crashed the car. (more…)
