alert via US Postal Inspection Service

Thanks to Jax for writing about an alert from US Postal Inspection Service:

“Do you think this is related to stealing checks? I can’t imagine USPS would go after someone stealing packages. It must be really bad if USPS is actually getting involved?

‘WANTED: We’re offering up to $100K reward for info leading to the arrest & conviction of suspect who has been stealing mail from apartment buildings in the Adams Morgan area of northwest Washington, DC from October 2023 to present.'” (more…)

By Prince Of Petworth


2009 18th Street, NW

Thanks to Adam and everyone else who wrote on Friday/over the weekend:

“Alfresco Tap and Grill seems to have closed (temporarily?) already. Really nice staff but the menu and food were a mess. So odd that they spent so much money building it out and so little thought on what it would be.”

“I would assume this is really temporary given the years and dollars they spent building this place out from parking lot.”

“Alfresco Tap and Grill has a handwritten sign on the door saying “temporarily closed” as does their website”

Update from their IG:

“third district commander Jim Boteler made the actual arrest”
