On Thursday afternoon, around 3:30pm, a man described by my neighbors as a 6′-1″, 290 lbs African American wearing all white emerged from my front porch carrying a box, walked down the street a bit, then went back and took my three year old son’s little red wagon, put the box in it, and continued north down 24th Avenue. They called the cops, there is a case number, but nothing was recovered. This morning I saw a couple boxes further down the street, torn open, from an address on 21st.
