Crime Alert!

Discounting the fireworks around our neighborhood, I stumbled across this item the other day and thought I should pass it along with the caveat that so far, it's a rumor.

East Livingston and Lonsdale
At the corner of E. Livingston and Lonsdale Ave., one or more unsupervised youth are running up to a targeted car while it's stopped for a red light, and smashing one of the windows with a brick.  No one has been injured - so far.

My first thought is that this is a brand new form of vandalism - something inspired by the knock out game.  But thinking this over, it's entirely likely that the attack is designed to get someone to chase the attacker - right into an ambush where they can be robbed.

Please be aware of your surroundings, and if this happens to you, report it to the police.

Or not, as the case may be. Several buildings have had new drain pipes installed. It's easy to see which units, judging from the picture...
