Break-ins on thursday?

I walked by Cibiline Friday morning and saw a big board over the door. apparently they had a break in sometime Thursday night (i walked by around 10PM Thursday night and i didn't notice the door like that). My mom was in town and she went in to ask what happened and apparently she said there were other break-ins around Davis that night too??? One by gun-point? I didn't see anything posted about this yet, but did anyone else hear about this or know what happened?

Don't worry...

Regular anti-yuppy activity by proud Somerville old-timers.

That's awful, especially as she's preparing to move the store to Boston next month.

I don't know about the Davis Square area, but there seems to have been a break-in at a laundromat on Winter Hill, right where Broadway and Main Street fork off. I can't remember whether it was Thursday or Friday morning when I drove by and saw the scene. There were cop cars, yellow tape, and a big sheet of glass from the storefront window lying shattered on the ground. Related? Who knows?

rash of breakins

It seems like there may be a person or people breaking into businesses at night - my wife was in True Grounds in Ball Sq. over the weekend and was told that a number of local businesses have been the victims of smash-and-grabs, including two or three in Ball Sq. (I think the wings place was one) and, further afield, Petsi's Pies (whoever my wife spoke to said that in that one, they couldn't figure out how to open the cash drawer so they just took the whole till). I think this stinks, it's hard enough to run a small business without some idiot or idiots smashing the place up. Whether it's a yuppie or a townie.

I find this "yuppie" vs. "townie" stuff here in the 'Ville to be very interesting from a number of different perspectives. But what the heck does it have to do with these break-ins? I hope those criminals are caught as quickly as possible.
