From MPD:

The complainant in this case states that he was sleeping in his bedroom when he was suddenly awakened by a noise. The complainant then noticed a suspect standing near his bedroom dresser taking money out of his wallet. The complainant picked up a baseball bat and struck the suspect several times and the suspect fled the home. It was later determined that the subject entered the home by forcing open a rear window. The suspect was described as a black male approximately 40-45 years of age, bald, wearing dark clothing.

Also lots of talk on twitter last night about loud bangs heard in NE:
“alright, NE DC — what were those two huge booms a moment ago?”
“if i had to guesstimate, i’d pin them near NOMA. ~5th or 6th & florida NE.”
“k glad I’m not crazy. Heard them too @ 7th & K”
“I was on 9&H and saw light for the 2nd boom & think fireworks. It looked like 10&H near the alley.”
“sure didn’t sound like fireworks!”
“@PoPville two more loud bangs shaking my windows at 7 and H NE”
“two more bright flashes & loud pops right by 8th & I”
Consensus: Fireworks.
“But…whyyyyyyy? It is November. And 11:30PM. And November.”
“pre-new years? No idea.”

Thanks to a reader for sending:
“We’ve seen a lot of construction guys going in and out of the old “Black Market” building lately, curious if this new art is an indication of a business to come? It’s been sitting empty for lease for a really long time after they did the renovations.”
A reader sends from 7th and H Street, NE. “Great moments in public transportation. Jumbo accordion bus joined together with trolley”
Ed. Note: Can’t make this stuff up…
