“Dear PoPville,
Brazen package theft occurred in a Columbia Heights at 3:15pm today (Thursday.) One woman was observed approaching the home with her cart, presumably loaded with other stolen packages, to take a stack of packages from the front door which had been delivered by FedEx just a few minutes earlier. A man appears to be accompanying her, and serving as a lookout while she acquires the packages. Two individuals with similar physical descriptions have been previously seen in the immediate area at night searching for packages left on porches overnight.”
Ed. Note: Historically, package theft always increase as we approach the holidays. Try to pay particularly close attention to delivery alerts if you get them.

“Dear PoPville,
My entire apartment shook last night with a really loud BOOM at 3 am. Woke me up scared out of my mind. I know this happened earlier in the year too. I live right by Cardozo. Anyone else feel it?”
It had been 28 days since our last report of loud booms. Anyone else hear it last night?
