A neighbor asked to post information about a break-in that occurred on Tuesday in the 700 block of Kennedy Street NE:

There was a brazen break-in of a home in the 700 block of Kennedy Street NE yesterday. It happened between 2pm and 4pm, no one was hurt, the residents were not home at the time.  Neighbors should be aware and vigilant about unusual activity around their homes and report anything out of the ordinary to DCMPD.

Glad to hear no one was hurt. The neighbor said the back door was kicked in. On that note, I am a big fan of security doors and house alarms. Security doors are not the most attractive, but they will make it harder for someone to break in by kicking in a door. And house alarms that make a loud, obnoxious noise when they go off and that connect to a dispatch system might scare some intruders off. As always, be vigilant and keep a look out for each other’s homes.
