“Dear PoPville,

While my family was out on vacation (12/19-12/26) someone broke into our parked car on the northwest corner of monroe st and holmead place NW in columbia heights. Unfortunately, due to our relocation to that area, we had left some important documents in the trunk of our vehicle including birth certificate, passports, a handful of financial documents documents (though we had jewelry in the bag as well, I presume those will not be found). We are taking steps to protect ourselves by closing accounts; nevertheless, putting out this notice in the event a neighbor comes across delicate documents that may have been dumped in the trash in that area. We would love to recover the birth certificates in particular.

I can be reached either by email at [email protected] or phone at 202-854-1373.”

Ed. Note: Please, no need for judgement here. Obviously a mistake was made. This is known. If you happen to see any passports or birth certificates laying around or blowing down the street – just contact IK above. You can feel sanctimonious on reddit if you just can’t contain yourself. Thanks.

From MPD:

“On Saturday, December 27th, at about 12:45 A.M., the complainant (an adult male) was walking through an alley in the 1400 block of Girard Street, NW, when he was approached by eight individuals. The subjects surrounded the complainant, and one of them displayed a handgun and demanded his property. When the complainant did not immediately comply, several of the suspects began to strike him, and one of them took his backpack containing his iPhone, U.S. Currency, and items of clothing. The suspects then fled. (more…)

“I am helping my older dad find his lost calico cat, Kitty. He hasn’t seen her since Thursday, December 17th on the 1300 block of Perry Place NW between 14th St. and Holmead Place in Columbia Heights. She is an indoor cat and she might have gotten out when he went to bring the mail inside. Kitty is an 11-year-old spayed female black, orange and white calico with long fur, white paws and a black nose.

Anyone can email me with information at [email protected], or text or call me at 202-744-2367. I don’t live in the area anymore (sadly) and I’m just helping my dad find the cat, but I will be able to manage any responses and send my brother to pick up the cat if anyone finds her.”

“Just got an email from Groupon that my voucher to Bistro La Bonne (the re-opened one on 14th and Chapin), which was set to expire in April, is only valid through the 19th of this month, at which point the business is closing. Their website and facebook don’t say anything about a closing.”
