[quote=Anonymous]I had a home break-in when no one was home. They broke window on back door to open it and took the stereo. Not much of any value in that house, I lived there with roommates in 20s. The house next door, under renovation, had a crew come with a truck and dolly in the middle of the night and stole all the new appliances. Ledroit Park, 2000s.

I wasn't really a victim, but kids would ditch their stolen cars and set them on fire in my alley. It happened 3 times, once had to move my car, which was beside the car on fire. Another time, after setting the fire, the kids climbed a fence and jumped on my porch, pushed past us and ran down my front steps, to get away. This surprised us, my friend and me. We were enjoying a glass of wine there. H Street/Trinidad area, 2010s.

A man in a car asked me directions to Bladensburg Road. I was walking. I began to explain that he was headed in the right direction, and then noticed movement, and saw that he was jerking off furiously. I screamed and he sped off. Near Capitol Building, 2010s.

I've had my car window smashed once and packages stolen several times. I crossed paths with a group of  teen carjackers who minutes later, used a gun to carjack someone else. Capitol Hill, 2020s.

There have been other things that I am just now remembering. Con artists coming to my door with stories about broken down cars. Bikes stolen. A heroin dealer who lived in a van in the alley. A young guy, possibly mentally disturbed, who followed me home and partially up my steps before I yelled loudly.

But I myself have experienced no violence, and for that I am thankful.
