Masked package thief caught on video

By Prince Of Petworth

A reader reports:

“We live on 14th St. NE and this is the fifth time we’ve had a package stolen and caught the perpetrators on video. We try to have most things shipped to Amazon Locker or various corner stores, but that isn’t always possible. When a package gets delivered to our house, it’s only a matter of time before it gets stolen. Usually never more than an hour or so. As you can see, this video is pretty clear. We’ve filed a police report, so hopefully they track these kids down. They’re very likely from the charter school right up the street.”

“As we were breaking up, my ex took them and gave them to a random girl at Ebenezer’s Coffee House”

CowboyBoots

“Dear PoPville,

I want to find my pair of lost/stolen cowboy boots.

As we were breaking up, my ex took them and gave them to a random girl at Ebenezer’s Coffee House at 2nd and F NE. I’ve made posters to put up around the area, but missing cowboy boots is kind of hilarious, and I really want them back so maybe this would help.”

A reader reports:

“Ninella‘s (formerly Park Cafe) near 13th St, SE, and East Capitol St appears to be closed and the Lincoln Park Kitchen & Wine Bar will be taking it’s place. “Coming soon” banner and menu attached.”

You can see their menu in PDF here – LINCOLN PARK KITCHEN & WINE BAR (PDF). Their twitter page says they’ll be opening in 3 weeks. Barred in DC reports:

“The new spot comes from Howsoon Cham, former chef and owner of short-lived Newtown Kitchen, a lounge that closed earlier this year on U street in the old Tabaq space.”

Ed. Note: Photos of the menu are a bit difficult to read but posting after the jump. (more…)

A reader sends this one from the 1300 block of F St, NE:

“This one ruined the roofline. Hopefully they’ll add a covered porch.”

I actually think this is a pretty nice one. But agree about hoping they add a covered porch. You like the way it’s turning out?

Back in July it was reported that Las Placitas would be moving from 517 8th Street, SE on Barracks Row further down 8th to the old Quiznos space. Turns out they’re taking over the former Chicken Tortilla space next to the former Levi’s Port Cafe. The owner said “very soon”. I also asked him about plans for the upper 14th Street, NW location and he said they still plan on opening in a “few months”. Stay tuned on both fronts.
