Apologies for what may be an alarming email, but wanted to
give everyone a heads up about an incident that occured last night. [This post appeared on Tuesday, November 15.]
I live in an apartment building on Calvert Street at
40th Street on the ground floor. I came home last night at midnight and
opened one of the the windows in the bedroom as soon as I got home
and pulled down the shades. A short while later, while adjusting the shades on
one window I saw a shoulder. I pulled up the shades quickly on window
two that was open and there was a man's face right there looking
in. I screamed at the top of my lungs, "Get out of here" and he ran away.
We called the police and they showed up quickly to take
a report and they didn't mention anything similar going on in the area. He
was looking in a window located on Calvert Street which usually has heavy
car/pedestrian traffic even that late.
On Sunday night, another one of my roommates noticed a man
loitering around her windows (she is closer to sidewalk) and we dismissed it,
but now I think it was likely this same man. I don't have the best
description other than clothing and build: He had darker skin, was
stockier and about 5'7 to 5'10 in his late 30's to late 40's, gray track jacket
with blue stripe down the sleeves; he was wearing a hat, I believe.
In case this is someone who does this often, I wanted to
pass this along as word of warning.
