Not related to the armed robberies (at least I doubt it) is that my house was broken into on Friday (July 28th). My computer (as well those of my roommates) and a lot of other electronics and jewelery were stolen. We live on the 1100 block of Rhode Island Ave. If anyone saw someone walking around with a beige pillowcase on Friday, I'd appreciate any information that could help lead towards getting our possessions back. Thank you!

Sgt. Emerman,

Thanks, I talked to them later in the evening, and they let me know they'd keep an eye out, but hadn't seen anything earlier. Glad to know folks are keeping their eyes peeled!

imgoph - the exact same thing happened to us on August 3rd, we also live in the 1100 block. Some laptops and ipods were taken and a pillowcase is missing. The police came by and dusted for prints and all that.
