This is just out of the WSB inbox, from Daphne, who wanted to alert others to what happened at her home near Hill/41st (map) a little while ago:
We were startled awake at 2 am to a banging and rumbling of our North Admiral house. After first checking on our children upstairs, I peeked out my son’s upstairs bedroom overlooking our shared driveway and garage to see a ball capped, white male, seemingly older, 50-ish, with hands in pockets leaning in at the opening to our open garage. His mannerism said he was just looking at something a friend might be pointing out, but his aggressive behavior at our basement door told me otherwise. My husband was downstairs and opened the back door yelling at him about what he was doing. The man sloppily stated he was looking for a gas cap he had lost and his girlfriend just left him. His car, a 4 door silver or blue, older model Honda type, was parked directly on the other side of the street. My husband told him to get off our property, he did and took off in his car on 41st. This man was either bold, ignoring the alarm monitoring signs posted, or just stupid. I’m guessing, just stupid. had been trying to kick the basement door in.
Earlier in the evening, as we were headed to bed, around 11 o’clock, we heard 4 car doors slam, we looked out the window to see a car matching the same description speed off out of Hill St. and south on 41st. He had returned after scoping out our house.
I called 911, they arrived quickly on our street (Hill) and then quickly sped away. They explained they had to respond to a fight at the Admiral Pub. They returned, made sure nothing on our property, nor, our neighbor’s property, was missing. They said they had nothing to go on at this point.
