Another Car Stolen after a House was Broken Into – $1000 reward offered

Published October 6, 2015 at 11:48AM

A reader reports:

“unfortunately, you can add another crime to this mini-wave. My house near 8th and T NW was broken into last Thursday, just after I left for work. Intruder(s) broke in through my kitchen window, which faces the back alley. They stole a laptop, two iPads, my TV, a bunch of cash and, yes, my car keys (off my kitchen counter) and my car, which was parked in the alley behind the house. I’m offering $1,000 for any information that leads to the recovery of the car, a 2003 black Jeep Liberty with DC tags EN0349. Even more, I’d like to see these guys apprehended. Would urge everybody in north Shaw to be extra cautious.

Please contact 202/ 441-2909 with any info.”

From an email:

“I’m writing from Hudson & Crane, DC’s newest furniture, design, and lifestyle brand, in the heart of adams morgan/ u st corridor. You may have seen ads introducing The Shay luxury apartment community that has gone in at 9th and U st NW. We designed and installed the model apartment for them (as well as their lobby), which can be seen from The Brixton as well as Nellies.

The Shay has dozens of floorplans and hundreds of rooms to choose from in this interesting and asymmetrical building. Likewise, having done design work for The Shay we are extending a promotion to all lessees at The Shay of 10% off of all furniture, lighting, and rugs with a signed lease through 2015 as well as 15% off of our design services through 2016 should a client wish to book those services with us. Attached are a few shots of our work in the model. The graffiti wall art was done by local artist Kelly Towles.

We just finalized a deal today to open up our SECOND location. It will actually be on the ground level in the retail space that is opening up under The Shay. Our spot will be facing 8th st, around the corner from the Lobby with a great line up of other restaurants and shops as well. Also, while our main showroom in Adams Morgan deals in furniture, decor, gifts, and interior design services, this new location will offer primarily gift and decor options to holiday shoppers.”
