“Dear PoPville,

I wanted to submit my story to warn others.

It was 5:30pm and I was walking down 10th st NW when a man approached me from behind asked for money, and I politely said no sorry, to which he drew a pistol and told me to sit.

I was forced to sit on a set of stairs with a gun pointed at my head. The guy stole my wallet and airpods. I am very grateful nothing worse happened.”

“Dear PoPville,

We were sitting outside at Le Diplomate Saturday night on 14th when someone approached us to ask what time it was – I should have known since his phone was on with the light shining but he quickly snatched my purse off of the chair and ran with it. Apparently it is the third time this has happened here.”
