Banner Thief: 3rd Time

My Steelers banner was stolen again last night/this morning at 12:40 AM,
May 31st. This is the third time it has happened in the brief time I've
lived in Cleveland Park. Enough!

I have the thief committing the crime on tape from several angles. I
need your help in identifying him. Briefly, he is a white male, 5'10"
to 6 feet weighing approximately 175 pounds. He is wearing a light
color t-shirt, neutral shorts to his knees, a dark belt, white ankle
socks and sneakers. He is lanky, with a non-athletic build. Additional
details are reserved, but known.

He got out of a car that pulled up in the alley behind my garage. He
jumped the back corner wall of my property, walked across the yard,
stepped in my flower bed and tore a banner from the garage wall that was
attached on all four corners. Then he walked back out of my yard, up
the steps, across the driveway and into the car. Again, this is all on
tape and is an outright, indisputable criminal act.

I will post large banners in my front and side yards with the criminal
committing the act. I will also post Wanted posters around the
neighborhood. If anyone knows who this is, please email me or call the
Second District police. This is a crime and a report was filed.

This is beyond just a prank. It is a repeated crime against me and my
property. And I am sick of it. My home is not safe despite the many
security measures in place. It is a violation on many levels.

For those who think it is not worthy of police action, read this
listserv and the discussions and reactions to the hydrangea thief, the
UPS package thief, the FedEx package thief, the U.S. mail thief, the
bike with locks on it thief, the potential thieves who knock on doors
selling magazines and donations, etc and the roof leak scammers. Then
let me know what you are going to do when someone walks across your
property and takes whatever brought you happiness or made you feel like
you were home.

Please help identify this thief. Call the Second District Police
station or email me directly. Thank you.

This is what passes for "really scary stuff" in Cleveland Park? A disgruntled Bengals fan? Yes, it's a crime, and no, it shouldn't happen, but it doesn't mean her home isn't safe, and it's not a "violation on many levels" and it's certainly not "really scary."

More likely a Browns fan.

Or a fan from any team that dislikes rapists for quarterbacks.

It's the 3rd frigging time. That's serious. This person is pathological. The first time sure it may have been "funny" but now the guy basically stalking her.

It's not serious in terms of value, but imagine if stand your ground was a law here, couldn't she kill the guy? I know I don't want someone on my propery after midnight, regardless of the petiness of the crime.

I would say there's sufficient cause to shoot this guy. SHe's caught him on tape 3 times after midnight violating her property. It starts with stealing her flag. What happens after the Steelers blow out "insert team here" and this liquored up fan tries to do something else?

Uh, no. I'm not aware of any state that permits murder for trespassing, or in defense of a football flag. (OK, maybe Alabama fans are allowed to kill Auburn fans, but that's a special case.) Stand your ground applies if you are threatened. Trespassing after midnight doesn't qualify.

Good grief. Take a pill or something.

Where is the First World Problems poster when we need her?

I personally would be freaked out by a guy who thinks its OK to tresspass onto my property, take things (whatever it is), and do it repeatedly under the cover of night.

As well all know, btw, stand your ground is law in Florida...

Can someone feel threatened by mere fact of someone on your property in the dark, stealing something, and with who knows what other intentions? And note this has happened before. Would that make a difference?

Have you considered moving to Capitol Hill?

It's a crime, but don't let it keep you awake a night (literally). You could try baiting him somehow...
