Last night I ran into a couple neighbors hanging outside—the police had just left. Turns out that after my laptop theft on Sat 8/26, another neighbor in a townhouse (4 doors down) was burglarized. They ripped off a bunch of computer gear from him. He then witnessed 2 kids from across the street trying to break into another townhouse yesterday afternoon—called the police and identified the kids. I think there were 2 kids (around 11 or 12 years old)—the police arrested them and took fingerprints.

Hopefully this will shut down or at least hamper the recent spike in computer thefts around 18th & Marion. Props to SP neighors for looking out for each other!
