This morning I saw a pair of youths going door-to-door down my block. They were skipping houses and peering through windows at the doors they did approach. Last time this happened, I did not call 911.

I was awakened yesterday morning by a knock on my door. It was about 9:30 am. By the time I got my wits about me, the knockers had moved on to the house next door. I could see them quite well from my front window.

I checked my door, and there was no literature left there. They did not appear to be security system salespeople, and were not well-dressed like the various evangelists that troll our neighborhoods.

She offered him a can of beer from her purse in hopes of appeasing him – then subsequently offered him her cell phone and purse. The suspect then made a sexually explicit and demanding remark. In response she struck him with the beer can and fled towards a home on Tyler Street.

He tackled her in a yard, and she kicked herself free momentarily. A struggle then ensued between the two on the front step of 3109 Tyler, breaking a handrail and window of the house.
