“Dear PoPville,
I didn’t have my wheels stolen, but I had my window shot out with interior damage and a bullet fragment lodged in the dash (steering wheel picture, between the gauges and the infotainment). I heard multiple gunshots last night. This was near the intersection of NH Ave and Shepherd St NW.” (more…)

“Dear PoPville,
A few times in the last several weeks, my wife and I have tried to go to our closest CVS at Georgia and New Hampshire, but when we’ve approached the front door, there’s a hand-written sign in the window that says the store is closed at the moment, and the metal door is pulled down. (more…)

Update: Owner has been found, thanks all.
“Dear PoPville,
I was biking on 13th and Crittenden St NW when I got bit by a dog. The owner was a man walking two large black Rottweilers and said I could pass but the dog lunged at me and bit the back of my calf. I’m trying to find any information on the owner so I can verify the dogs vaccination status (specifically for rabies). Does anyone have any information?”
If so please email me at [email protected] and I’ll pass on to OP. Thanks.
