Meeting Tonight on Dupont’s Rooftop Burglaries
In the last couple of months, Dupont Circle activist Rob Halligan counted 17 home invasions in his neighborhood where the robber got in via the roof, typically through a skylight. He worked the Listservs and his cop sources to get this problem on the radar of both MPD and homeowners. Tonight is the first public meeting for them to get the word out on the rooftop burglar(s)' M.O.
The meeting at 1719 Swann St. at 7 p.m. (in Peggy Simpson's "very large" living room) will presumably include details that have been missing from MPD—like how the robber(s) are prying open the skylights. So far, cops have said thieves are getting up there using fire escapes and other wrought-iron ladders on the sides of buildings. Shocking, that.

I would like to speak to someone about catching this burglar. My company has just released a brand new product to the shelf begining March 30th. It is a specialized security system that will catch this guy immediately. This product sends immediate messages to your cellphone with alerts and pictures. The sensors can easily be attached to the sky light windows in these apartments and linked to household cellphones or polices phones. Once any pressure is applied the sensor will send SMS text to phone to alert, within seconds. Please contact me if I can be of any help. This product works and will catch this guy, tonight.
This is not a scam, low-cost product with no fees.
