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!

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
