Okay, so I recently wrote two posts about crime in my hypothetical backyard. Well, it happened yet again. This time, in my building. Yes, you read that correctly. In my building.
Saturday afternoon, Steve picked me up, as we were going to the movies. Coming out of the front door of my building, there was a note taped to the door written by a resident of the building. She wrote that she was robbed Friday night. In the building. IN THE ELEVATOR!
Of all scary and creepy things that could happen, this girl was robbed in the elevator of the building she and many others live in. I don't know details, I don't know what time it was, etc, but that shouldn't matter, should it?
I am more than a little freaked out about this.
a reminder to myself

- I grew up in New England and now I live in Washington, DC where I work for the federal government. I've lived abroad in Luxembourg, Poland and Canada, and would like to live abroad again. I love to travel and fill my passport with stamps. I read a lot and want to build libraries where they don't have any. I have a lot of cookbooks and love using them. I have an adorable godson named Jackson. I also sponsor two little girls through World Vision; six-year old Majlinda in Albania and two-year old Boikokobetso in South Africa. I love cupcakes, poppies, chocolate chip pancakes, peonies, strawberries and deviled eggs. I collect tea towels, teapots, Boleslawiec Polish pottery, vintage sewing supplies, Peter Rabbit books/pieces and Russian babushka nesting dolls. My two favorite childrens books of all time are Miss Rumphius and The Velveteen Rabbit and I would like to write my own books someday. I'm learning to quilt and have become a bit obsessed with buying fabric! I also love red shoes and wear them frequently. Steve, my boyfriend, keeps me sane most days, except for the ones when he's the one making me crazy! All in all, life is good and keeps me on my toes.

That's terrible! Start carrying mace?
Oh my gosh. That's so scary! Definitely get some mace!
it's time to move
Yikes, definitely sounds like 3 strikes!
oy that's creepy. stay safe!
that's pretty scary. what's with the rise in crime lately? i'm afraid to walk to work from the metro thanks to all the shootings in columbia heights lately.
oh wow. i'm with kate-- get some mase.
OMG that is so scary! I agree ith Kate - carry mace (or if you don't want mace, hairspray or my mom got me 'puppy mace' its like a nontoxic mace that she got at the pet store, its supposed to stop dogs in the event that they get into dog fights - don't ask me, only my mom would manage to find that!)
Just be vigilant - I'm sure you are but ifyou're alert and sure of yourself attackers are less likely to see you as a target. I watch a lot of Law & order SVU!
Sounds like its taser time. Look both ways and don't be afraid to go for the goods with any heavy object you've got. Stay safe!!
Oh no... I'm so sorry, love. I'm with Jamie on the mace/pepper spray!!!
I hope you are able to move soon. Does not sound like a good place to stay :(
