I don't know how I missed learning about this earlier, but sounds like it could be fun.


"Tonight in Davis Square, you can gamble with the mayor of Somerville to help the children. Mayor Joseph Curtatone and other Somerville "celebrities" (members of the school committee and aldermen - sorry TMZ fans) will deal Texas Hold 'Em for the Somerville Children's Network 2nd Casino Night. The night starts at 7, and if you haven't been wiped out at the poker or blackjack tables by 9, you can get free barbecue from Redbones. Proceeds benefit the Healey School After-School Adventure Clubs. 18+ $10, $40 to participate in the Texas Hold 'Em Tournament. Dilboy VFW, 371 Summer St., Somerville. 617-645-2717."

I live on Prichard Ave, which is NE of Davis near Ball Square. Sometime between 2:30pm and 6:30pm today, someone broke into the car that a guest of mine had parked on Prichard, and stole his GPS.

We called the police right away. They asked for the license plate number of the car that was broken into, and we were then surprised to learn that the police had already recovered the GPS unit. The dispatcher did not know whether they had caught the exact person who had broken into the car, it could be that it was recovered from whatever fence bought it. We won't know until my guest calls the officer who handled the case, when he's available tomorrow.

We found a 3-pound barbell weight in the car that had obviously been thrown in to break the window. That's in a plastic bag now to hand off to police.

Fortunately my guest has insurance that will cover the cost of replacement window, so all he's out in the whole episode is the hassle of cleaning up and lacking a window until he can get it to the shop. I helped him plastic it up.

I'm aware there've been several similar incidents in this area lately. Tell all your driving guests to hide their GPSes, stereos, iPods, etc.

I live in a multi family house on Holland between Teele and Davis and came home to find boxes and packing material all over the front porch and to the side of the house. Sometime in the afternoon someone took boxes that had been delivered to the a neighbor in the house and opened them up an stole anything of value. It is pretty bold to walk up to a house, on a major street, go through a gate in the middle of the day and tear open/steal packages.

I'm very used to having the mailperson just drop off boxes without a signature - you forget things like this happen. It worries me when people are so bold.
