See this 10-08-2015 message from a Bloomingdale household on the 100 block of U Street NW:
Oct 8, 2015, at 7:46 PM
At 5:11pm today (10/08/2015), this gentleman and his friend came up to our front porch to check out a package put out for UPS delivery. Luckily after picking up the box and looking around, this guy decided not to leave with it. They would not have been happy if they had. The box contained only one part of a piece of furniture, worthless without the rest of the unit. It was big, bulky, and very heavy. UPS came by within 10 minutes of these guys leaving. We shared the entire video clip with the driver who expressed frustration with package thefts in our neighborhood. (We were home and notified of the porch activity. Unfortunately, by the time we went to the porch the gentlemen were gone.)
Can you share this on the neighborhood blog so neighbors continue to be aware of this problem, and can be especially aware if they see this gentleman near their home? This happened on the 100 block of U St. NW, and this gentleman does not live on this block.
