“Dear PoPville,
                                                                  
A heads up to Bloomingdale residents. My husband’s Vespa was stolen from our parking area in the alley behind on our house First St NW last night. A neighbor’s security footage shows the thieves backed a Penske van into the parking area and loaded the Vespa by lifting it into the van, so wheel locks don’t help. There is other footage of them generally casing the entire area a few times, so people need to be aware. The police have been notified.”
