This morning at 6am my female friend was walking and was grabbed from behind at the corner of 19th and Q NW from a man who tried to force her into his white sedan. She fought him off and he took off in the car. (more…)

A reader found an iPhone this morning and there was a disturbing warning/response:
“Be careful. I did this once and then had my front door kicked in with men raiding my home looking for the iPhone.
