The victim said that she did not hear or see anyone but that a window was open and the screen had been moved.


A man was robbed of his cell phone and some cash at 11:10 p.m. on Wednesday night at Capp and 17th streets.

  2. Why was a report even filed for the first incident? 76 year old woman + computer = Worthless Tandy 286 computer!

    Why did the person in the 2nd incident report it? How stupid of him. Marcos, Cap + 17th St = male/male.male.male prostitution deal gone bad!
