broken into (window, first floor) during the day..... the burglar was
seen by some one and scared him away.... a member of the househo0ld
was on the 3rd floor and did not hear the peerson so maybe it
happened fasst.

I do not have all the details yet, but a bike was stolen from a

The wooden Porch Railing that it was chained to was severely damaged.
It seems clear that a serial thief is in our midst and we need to
exercise greater precautions until the thief is caught and stopped
(if necessary via lengthy detention). I hope you and your property
are and remain safe.
Meanwhile, this bike was the primary form of transportation for a
eco-friendly, female grad student.
So if anyone has an obsoleted or extra bicycle that (must be
functioning, or within just a few dollars of working) that they can
donate (or sell cheaply) that could suit a young woman about 5'7"
tall, please let me know off list.
Other spare bikes, including kids bikes, helmets and parts, might
be welcome donations at the Neighborhood Bike Works.
NBW is a good organization that helps people, especially kids,
learn to respect and repair equipment, appreciate the environment,
gain better understanding of cost versus value, and learn and
follow rules in a cooperative environment.
I just checked out their site and saw a notice about summer camps.
