[UC] FWD: NEIGHBORHOOD ALERT!
I've been asked to forward this to the groups: LL From: write...@aol.com [mailto:write...@aol.com] Sent: Friday, August 28, 2009 10:50 AM Subject: NEIGHBORHOOD ALERT I just got this from Lieutenant John Washington, UPenn Public Safety patrol. There are two very suspicious guys in the area casing houses and bikes. Be advised--see below... stay safe... and please pass the word to your neighbors on either side of you or to multiple members of your house. FYI, Leslie!

Eastern Daylight Time Subj: RE: BBQ reminder :) FYI Ms. Banks: While riding around last night I set up observation of two young males that were on your block. They had one bike, one was acting as an observer and were eyeing up the bike that was locked to the railing near the USP Frat House. They finally realized that I was watching them and started to wonder the neighborhood – our plain clothes team followed them until they went to the 300 block of S. 43rd where the male without a bike went down an alley and retrieved a bike that he had obviously previously stashed there. The males were stopped (one was 19, one was 17, both from SW Phila) and were found to have numerous wire cutters and hacksaw blades – all used to steal bikes. We sent them on their way but they promised to ‘be back’… we will keep an eye out for them and try to ensure that there are no issues on your block but if you can let everyone know to secure valuables out of sight in their cars and to use a kryptonite lock and not cable of chain locks for their bicycles that would be doing us a favor. Thanks. jwjr
[UC] Antiques burglary at 45th and Locust
I really want to report this: There was a burglary last night [around 3am] at 4528 Locust street. The house is not inhabited as the renovation work is still going on] and some construction material at the porch was a sure indicator of the status. Nevertheless, all the houses around are well occupied. The neighbor heard the noise which must have been horrendous because they kicked the front door to get in and teared the second one out of the frame [old oak with leaded glass I had remade last year]. That was the intended loot. That's all they managed to get as the neighbor called the police. I believe they are coming back for more antiques [mantles, leaded glass windows]. I know this has been going on in the neighborhood for some time. Could you please let me know of the case you know [the latest wave] so I can compile something. I am determined to recover this. It cannot disappear. Later, I'll post the picture. I appreciate any help. Have to go now and get something to try to secure the house. There is a d...@#! ring of antiques burglars and the accomplice dealers in Phila and that needs to be broken! The police came [reportedly] quickly last night but did not want to call me [the other neighbor was trying to call in their presence] nor come the house I was at [less than a block away] and did not make a report till finally just before I wrote this. I called at 10am. These are not the just plain burglaries. Let's stop it, please. Thank you.

Folks, Just saw this on c'slist. This might be the kitten (Wyatt - blk&grey stripes, with white) that was lost two weeks ago around the same location. Please be on the lookout! I've written to both parties but no reply yet. Thanks! Found Black and White Kitten (Regent St. Between 48th and 49th) Date: 2009-08-29, 2:58PM EDT Reply to: comm-uqm5f-1348796...@craigslist.org [Errors when replying to ads?] Found black and white kitten. Very friendly. Wearing white flea collar, but COVERED in fleas. I cannot take her in my house because I have a dog and a cat that I do not want to get fleas. I found him/her hiding in a open box in my recycling bin. I took her out to see if she was injured, but she just followed me to my door meowing. Don't know if it's male or female, but she seems under a year old. I also don't now if she was intentionally dumped in the bin or just jumped in there. It's been about an hour and I've gone out there several times, but she is still out there waitingI really don't want to take her to the spca. I hope she belongs to someone.
